Overview of Notre Dame Du Lac

There are seven types of care identified at Notre Dame Du Lac in Worcester, MA. They include skilled nursing, assisted living, palliative care, memory care, hospice care, respite care, and nursing home care.

Memory care is secured, with staff supervising, for those whose dementia could cause them to wander. Licensed nurses are present on every shift in both the skilled nursing and nursing home areas. Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort during a serious illness or at the end of life. Respite is a brief stay for the period when the usual caregiver is away for travel or recovery.

The facility has 110 beds distributed across studios, one-bedroom units, and two-bedroom units. A studio costs from $6,375 to $7,150 per month, a one-bedroom ranges from $7,200 to $9,000, and a two-bedroom is priced from $9,600 to $10,250. The two-bedroom accommodates two people, whether partners or a resident with a companion. A $5,000 deposit for moving in is in addition to the monthly fee.

The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Medicare covers short-term skilled care after a hospital discharge. Medicaid can support an eligible individual for a lengthier duration, while private pay refers to the family covering the expenses. Daily nursing time totals 4 hours 5 minutes for each resident.
