Overview of The Sequoias Portola Valley

The Sequoias Portola Valley is a continuing care retirement community in Portola Valley, California, with independent living, assisted living, memory care, hospice care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care, hospice supports residents receiving end of life care, and respite care gives someone a short stay when their usual caregiver needs temporary relief.

Several care levels are available in one community. A resident whose needs grow over time may be able to remain there rather than move elsewhere. The home has 328 beds and offers studios, one bedroom units, and two bedroom units. A studio suits one resident, while a two bedroom unit can accommodate a couple moving together. Total nurse staffing is 5h per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident.

Daily life can include hiking, bird watching, lawn bowling, garden activities, organized trips and excursions, and groups and committees led by residents. The garden provides an outdoor setting for activities, and rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation support temporary recovery needs. Pets are allowed, so residents may keep a pet in the community.

Medicare and private pay are accepted, with Medicare applying to eligible short term skilled care rather than long term residence. Sequoia Living operates The Sequoias Portola Valley, and Suzanne Wasley Fairley serves as administrator. The range of care may suit a resident whose needs could increase over time, as well as couples who want to move together in a two bedroom unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

How much does this service cost?

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.
