Is your loved one having a bit of trouble managing daily activities? Are you thinking that it might be time to consider what assisted living costs in Burleson, Texas might be – and what’s available? Here, we are going to look at exactly what’s meant by “assisted-living”, some of the costs involved, and methods through which to pay for this type of care.
Let’s start off with an explanation of the term “assisted-living”.
Assisted Living – What Is It?
If your loved one is having difficulty with ADLs (activities of daily living including dressing, eating, bathing, etc.), it may be time to look into an assisted living community. Here, they will get the assistance they need with daily activities, as well as help with housekeeping, food preparation, and more.
Not only is someone present 24/7 to provide security and assistance, the apartments in which your loved one can reside are comfy, homey, and appealing. Everything your loved one needs is provided in one location for an all-inclusive cost.
The Costs of Assisted Living
When you think about all the costs involved when you own your own home, the cost of an assisted living community can actually provide savings! We are talking about more than just property taxes, utilities, home maintenance/repairs, etc. We’re also talking about the money you have to spend on food, a vehicle, vehicle insurance, homeowner’s insurance, and more. Every little thing you have to spend money on when you own a home adds up after a while – and the amount can be staggering.
On the other hand, when residing in an assisted living community, everything is included. There is even a concierge service to arrange transportation to lunches, a movie in town, doctor appointments, and much more. Meals are provided by skilled chefs and food preparers, an abundance of amenities are frequently offered… The list goes on and on.
Costs vary per assisted living community. Your best bet is to shop around and decide on a couple of possibilities. Then book a tour to see for yourself what they have to offer. A professional representative from the community will be more than happy to go through all of the benefits and financials involved.
Need Help Paying For Assisted Living?
Though residing in assisted living can be a bargain – particularly when you compare it to the numerous costs involved in owning your own home – it’s more than some people can afford. Fortunately, there are options.
If you live in Texas, require skilled nursing care, and you need help paying for home health care, assisted living, etc., Medicaid may be an option. For information on Texas Medicaid to pay for assisted living, here is a link.
Aid from the VA (Department Of Veterans Affairs) may also be of assistance if you or your loved one qualifies. While they don’t pay for assisted living directly, some costs may be covered by various programs including the A&A Benefit (Aid and Attendance).
