My father had an EXCELLENT experience there. The staff and care givers were hardworking, loving, and compassionate. They take time to talk to family members, too. We felt welcomed any time we visited. When my father passed away, compassion and love for him was evident. He had a "home away from home", and gained a new family. Denny was like a grandson to him, and so many others touched his life, too. πŸ’™ We are forever grateful. ❀

Does Elmcroft accept Medicaid or Medicare?

Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021

Medicare does not typically cover the expenses associated with assisted, independent or retirement living. Additionally, we DO NOT accept Medicaid for new move-ins. Many of our services can be covered by a Long-Term Care Policy, but you need to verify through your provider. We DO NOT take any other insurance payments. Contact the community for additional information on qualifying guidelines.

What is the difference between Assisted Living and Nursing Homes?

Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021
Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021

Families often have the misconception that an assisted living community is just a more attractive nursing home. The truth is nursing homes offer different types of care and services than you will find in an assisted living community. In a nursing home, you typically find residents who have more complex medical conditions. They need daily, around-the-clock assistance from a skilled nurse and/or therapist. Residents often share a room or suite with another senior. By contrast, residents in an assisted living community need support with what are referred to as the activities of daily living (ADL). These are the tasks we all need to complete every day, such as bathing, grooming, and dressing. While some assisted living communities have nurses on their care team, ADLs can typically be provided by an aide.

How much does assisted living cost?

Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021
Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021

A variety of factors make up the monthly fee. In some communities, care and services are bundled into one flat fee. Other communities base their monthly fee on the size of the resident's apartment and the amount of care they receive. "The average monthly cost of assisted living in the U.S. is roughly $4,000 a month, or about $48,000 per year, according to Genworth's latest Cost of Care Survey." This fee may be higher in cities along both coasts and in major metropolitan areas, such as New York City or Washington, D.C. If you give us a call or schedule a tour, we can provide you with more concrete information based on your needs.

Is Elmcroft pet friendly?

Most of our Elmcroft communities welcome dogs and cats, and have secured outdoor areas where residents can walk and play with their pets. Check with the community for specifics and to see if they have any breed restrictions or specific rules regarding keeping a pet in your apartment. Your pet's vaccines and veterinary records should be up to date for the safety of your fellow residents and their pets, as well as staff and visitors.

What is the difference between Assisted Living and Independent Living?

Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021
Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021

Assisted living communities cater to seniors who are physically or cognitively unable to live on their own. In independent living communities, most adults live alone or as couples, without the need for personal care support or skilled nursing. However, support is available, if needed. The design of an assisted living community is to provide long-term care for an individual who may require support with everyday activities but does not need the level of skilled care that is provided within a nursing home. In comparison, an independent living community is established for an individual who requires little or no assistance in performing their daily routine.

Will a Long-Term Care Insurance Policy pay for Assisted Living?

Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021
Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021

Although this answer varies by policy, many long-term care insurance policies do help finance assisted living. Check your aging loved one’s policy to see if it covers the costs of β€œcustodial care,” which includes assisted living communities.

What is the process for transitioning into an Assisted Living facility?

Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021
Rochester Estates Senior Living | Oct 16, 2021

The transition to an assisted living community begins by researching your local options and scheduling a time to tour each one. A personal visit that includes your older loved one is the best way to determine if an assisted living community is a good fit. Once you have narrowed down your choice to one community, the staff there will begin the admission process. A nurse or other skilled health care professional from the community’s staff will likely evaluate your loved one’s needs to determine what care and services will be necessary after the move. The staff will also work with you to choose an apartment or suite. Some communities, such as Elmcroft, can even help you determine what furniture will fit in the new apartment and what might need to be given to a family member or donated to a local charity. It’s important to know that assisted living is licensed at the state level. This means every state has its own unique requirements for admissions to an assisted living community. Some states, for example, require a chest x-ray in addition to a complete physical exam. Others do not.
