Senior Apartments
You may choose to spend your golden years in a
community designed especially for mature adults. Senior living
facilities come in many sizes and shapes. Senior apartments are
one such chose. A Senior Apartment allows you to take advantage
of many amenities and personalized services without having to
maintain a house and yard.
Senior apartments should be a consideration for older adults
that can take care of themselves. Aside from age-restrictions
these apartments are usually developed the same as standard
apartments. Some of these apartments are also equipped with
items such as hand rails and pull cords to make getting around
and living easier. Also these apartments provide a community
of elderly neighbors without the hassles of a larger home to
manage. Properties can vary in terms of services but typically
offer apartment living and services designed specifically for
independent active seniors 55 and older. Since many of these
residences are designed for active seniors, most do not offer
meal service, housekeeping or medical services. Senior apartment
complexes are usually located near senior centers, parks, shopping
malls, golf courses and public transportation. Some provide
van services to nearby shopping and needed services.
Senior apartments can be found in many communities, some are
under federal housing guidelines and will only accept low income
seniors, but most are privately owned. Many of the privately
owned properties offer reduced rents to low-income tenants with
assistance from Dept. of Housing Urban Development (HUD). You
should be aware that senior apartments usually have a captured
audience with a significant waiting lists period. The following
table provides a listing of senior apartments in your state;
those that may have subsidized units are identified with an
"S" in the right hand column

Residential Long-Term Care Facilities serve individuals with
impaired functioning who do not require hospital or nursing home
care and who self-administer medication. The facility may supervise
activities of daily living, but not assist. Medication administration
may not be performed by the facility staff. The supervision of
self-administered medication is limited to cueing.

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.
