Assisted living helps with daily activities in a residential setting. Memory care adds secure spaces, specially trained staff and structured routines for people living with dementia.
Common signs include missed medications, falls, weight loss, difficulty with daily tasks, or a caregiver who is becoming exhausted. An advisor can help you assess the situation.
Medicare generally covers short-term skilled nursing and hospice, not long-term custodial care. Medicaid may help with some long-term care costs depending on your state and eligibility.
Yes. Many communities offer several levels of care, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) are designed so residents can move between them as needs change.
Hospice is generally for people with a terminal illness or end-stage disease whose health is declining. It can be covered by Medicare Part A, Medicaid, many private insurance plans or private pay, and families often find it helps most when started early.
Home health is usually for people who find it very difficult to leave home and need part-time skilled care from a nurse or therapist. A doctor, family member, hospital or rehab facility can make a referral, and an advisor can help you check what applies.
