What Are the Advantages of Assisted Living?

The Arbors Assisted Living facility at Stoneham, Massachusetts, offers a variety of amenities and services that can make life easier and safer for your loved one. While advanced personal care is available, your loved one doesn't necessarily need to use these services if they don't need them. We allow your loved one to live freely and access services they may need in the future.

We consider our facility to be the best of both worlds. Your loved one is able to maintain their independence while living in a supportive, close-knit community. And they don't have to worry about things like housework or home maintenance. Instead, they can spend their time doing the things they love or exploring new hobbies.

One great benefit of Arbors assisted living is the food, are the meals are designed specifically for senior health and nutrition. Our talented executive chefs prepare meals rich in nutrients and packed with healthy, fresh ingredients. The dining experience is second to none at Arbors. Residents can choose their seating, mealtimes, and menu preferences. They eat what they want when they want. The menu is full of delicious options that rotate daily for variety. Our elegant dining room is perfect for a social meal with friends.

What Is the Cost of Assisted Living Near Me, and How Do I Pay For It?

Traditionally the cost of senior assisted living facilities in Massachusetts are generally around $4,000 to $8,000 a month. However, if your loved one needs more specialized care, such as Alzheimer's or Dementia Care, your cost will increase to around $5,500 to $10,000 a month.

When paying for these services, most individuals initially cover assisted living expenses using their personal funds. This is mainly due to the insurance market's inadequate adaptation to long-term care requirements. Each insurance company varies in terms of coverage and payment options.

Private health insurance and Medicare do not include coverage for long-term care, leaving individuals to seek alternative solutions. One such option is long-term care insurance, specifically designed to cover these needs. However, the market for this insurance has been dwindling over time. In 2002, there were 750,000 new policies issued, but by 2016, this number had dropped drastically to only 89,000 new policies. In 2012, less than 3 percent of the population had long-term care insurance.

The U.S. Veterans Administration offers a provision in its Veterans Pension to provide additional benefits for low-income pensioners who require "aid and attendance," a category that includes assisted living.

Apart from insurance and VA benefits, individuals can also utilize private assets, such as personal savings, proceeds from selling a home or selling a life insurance policy to a life settlement provider, which converts the policy into a temporary income stream to cover long-term care costs.
