When making the decision to transition to a senior living community, whether for yourself or a family member, it’s important to evaluate your specific needs and preferences. There are a number of senior living options, including independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing, each tailored to different levels of assistance and care, addressing the varying—and often changing—needs of older adults.
Consider factors such as:
Talk to current residents and their families to get insight into daily life and overall satisfaction with the community. Ultimately, you want to find a place that aligns with your preferences, requirements, and financial situation—and offers a place that feels like home.
Continuing care communities offer peace of mind for residents and their families, secure in the knowledge that the future care needs are covered. The care team at Casey’s Pond allows every resident to live a more carefree lifestyle without the burdens of home maintenance. Living in a community with people in a similar stage of life can provide emotional and social support. It helps combat isolation and loneliness, contributing to overall well-being and an enjoyable lifestyle.
As a continuing care community, Casey’s Pond offers many benefits, including a variety of care services, from independent living to assisted living and skilled nursing care. This ensures that residents can age in place and receive the level of care they need as their needs evolve. Residents at Casey’s Pond have access to assisted living, nursing care, and rehabilitation—whenever they need it. And they won’t need to move to a new community if their needs change.
There are several senior living options, and each has its advantages and considerations.
For-profit and non-profit senior living communities share the common goal of providing housing, care, and services for older adults; they are fundamentally different as far as organizational structure, funding sources, and overall missions.
As always, it makes sense to consider factors such as staff qualifications, facilities, amenities, and the overall philosophy of care when choosing a senior living community.
The average cost of assisted living in the United States is around $4,000 to $7,000 per month, but costs vary depending on location, type of community, level of care needed, and amenities provided. Casey’s Pond rates start at $2,980 for independent living in their efficient living neighborhood and go up to $8,405 for assisted living in their luxury neighborhood.
It’s important to remember that while the upfront costs of senior living communities might seem high, they may actually save money in the long run. Sharing services and amenities at a senior living community can be more economical. When considering the costs of senior living, potential residents should consider the specific services covered in the monthly fee, potential additional fees for extra services, and any financial assistance or insurance coverage available.
