Understanding Costs and Coverage
Medicare does not cover the cost of living in a senior living community with the exception of the Skilled Nursing section, if there is one. If a senior on Medicare has a hospital stay and requires outpatient therapy or home health services, these may be covered for residents in a senior living community. Medicaid sometimes covers the cost of assisted living residential stays but this is State and income dependent.
Commitment to Quality
News analyzed data from nearly 450,000 resident & family survey responses at more than 3,800 senior living communities nationwide. The survey asked residents and family members about their satisfaction with community safety, caregiving, activities, management, staff, food, value and other aspects of community life.
