Choosing Independent or Assisted Living Facilities [Episode 119]
Attorney-CPA Joe Cordell and co-host Susan Arthur are rejoined
by Villages of St. Peters Memory Care administrator April Haskins to break down
some of the factors that go into the decision of leaving one’s home and
entering an independent or assisted living facility.
April details all of the amenities that many facilities
have, which allows seniors to maintain some levels of independence while
receiving the care that they may need. They also bring up the costs involved in
independent living.
April and Joe explain what a buy-in is, when it comes to
senior care. They highlight the varied payment structures that exist among
facilities, as well as the lifestyle options available to residents. Joe
discusses the commonality in the St. Louis area regarding seniors going to a
living facility based on having friends
that are involved in common interests or communities.
April explains what Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are and also talks about the conversations between senior parents and their children, regarding visits, amenities, and overall environment of a potential facility.
Joe also announces that April will be joining ElderTalk with Joe Cordell as an occasional co-host.
