FAQ'S

How do I know what type of long-term care I may need?
Start out by communicating with your family and physician. Explore assisted living communities and nursing homes in your area. Talk with the professionals that manage these communities. If you are able to maintain your independence but need support with daily tasks, assisted living may be right for you.

When should an individual start planning for long-term care needs?
People should start planning early for potential long-term care needs. This can be done through seeking advice regarding available services before the need arises. Most importantly, people should become aware of assisted living communities and nursing homes within their community. Getting to know the people on staff and the services offered well in advance of need will make the decision process and transition much easier for both the prospective resident and family.

Who lives in assisted living communities?

What if a resident requires specialized services?
Upon moving into Royalton Woods, each resident is assessed by our team. Together, we determine what services are required to meet the individual's personal needs. Based on the assessment process our staff will develop a resident service plan, coordinating all health-related and supportive services for each resident. The service plan may also include community-based services provided by a home health agency. This may include physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as skilled nursing care. Medicare or other insurance providers may pay for some community-based services. Our team is ready to assist with coordinating additional services when needed.

How is assisted living paid for?
Assisted living usually is paid for privately - either by the individuals themselves or in combination with their families, or in some cases by long-term care insurance policies.

While a resident of an assisted living center, an individual can receive Medicare coverage for some skilled services provided by home health agencies (i.e. physical, occupational, speech therapy or skilled nursing) or hospice services. The VA may also provide financial support for qualified veterans or spouses.

The Medicaid Waiver Program is available at Royalton Woods. For further information, please contact us directly at 440-582-4111.
