Alzheimer's Communities Regulations
Alzheimer's Unit Requirements
set by
Department of Public Health
Division of Licensure and Certification
334.206.5190
Assisted Living communities are not permitted to have locked
or secured dementia units, preventing them from accommodating mid- and advanced
stages of Alzheimer's. There are pilot programs looking at modifications in these
regulations.

Assisted Living Communities
 Your
retirement planning should be based on understanding the options associated
with Assisted living. As part of a retirement plan these options combine
housing, support services and health care, as needed. Assisted living
is a retirement service for individuals who require assistance with
everyday activities such as meals, medication management or assistance,
bathing, dressing and transportation. Some residents may have memory
disorders including Alzheimer's, or they may need help with mobility,
incontinence or other challenges of senior life. Residents are assessed
to determine the level of service they may need. These retirement
services generally include: 24/7 supervision, 3 meals a day, housekeeping,
transportation, minor medical attention, personal care assistance,
security and emergency call, exercise programs, social and educational
activities. In addition some Assisted living communities may provide:
gardens, libraries, and chapels.
Assisted living communities are operated by both profit and non-profit
organizations. Pricing can range from $1000 to over $4,000 per month
based on your location. There may be extra fees for special services.

provides room, board, meals, laundry, assistance with personal care, and other
services for not less than 24 hours per week. Assistance with activities of daily

Adult Day Care
 Adult
Day Care programs provide an assortment of health, therapeutic, and
social services to those at risk of being placed in a nursing environment.
Adult Day Care services support elderly individuals who lack full
independence but who do not need 24-hour nursing care. Services may
include therapeutic and social activities designed to meet and enhance
the participant's level of functioning through individual plans of
care. Such Adult Day Care services generally provide support, respite
and education for caregivers.
A typical Adult Day Care center operates 10 - 12 hours per day and
provides meals, social/recreational outings, and general supervision.
Some Adult Day Care centers maintain a nurse on-site and may also
provide transportation and personal care.
With the added support through participation in Adult Day Care, admission
to rest homes or nursing homes may be delayed. Hence, participants
may be able to remain at home with family members for a longer period
of time. In addition the social stimulation and recreational activities
often mitigate the decline of cognitive/physical functions.
Adult Day Care support also aids caregivers by providing respite services
thus enabling caregivers to work or to have a break from their caregiving
responsibilities.
Costs for services are usually less than a home health visit and significantly
less than a skilled nursing facility. Daily fees for adult day services
vary depending upon the services provided.

Insurance, Long Term Care
|
Because of old age, mental or physical illness,
or injury, some people find themselves in need of help with eating,
bathing, dressing, and other physical activities. Long-term care
insurance can help pay for such care in the future. To help protect
your financial independence, as you grow older, many Long Term
Care Insurance providers have plans that offer comprehensive benefits
as well as a proven track record of claims payments and financial
stability. You should review all your options carefully.
