Frequently Asked Questions About Senior Living

Q: Do senior living communities offer skilled nursing?

The answer is yes but not all of them. Care options such as skilled nursing are offered in most senior living housing programs.

Q: How much does senior living cost?

Most popular question by far. Senior living will vary depending on where you plan on becoming a resident. If you become a part of a community in California, your costs will be higher than those who choose senior living in Arizona. A good indicator of price ranges would be to look at prices of real estate and compare by city, region, or state.

Q: What financial options are available?

Financial options are different on a state and federal basis. Depending on the living expense, there are federal programs that aid veterans and their spouses with living expenses called "Aid and attendance". We recommend you speak to a financial advisor in the community to guide you in the right direction.

Q: Can residents request events and activities?

The answer is yes! We can say with absolute certainty that the large majority of communities allow for new events and activities to take place upon request. Some communities don't require a formal request so it's upon yourself and a group of friends to plan the fun.
