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.

Rocky Mountain Assisted Living – Lakewood Reviews

Share your thoughts and experiences about Rocky Mountain Assisted Living – Lakewood. Let’s celebrate the stories that make a difference!

My Dad was recently a three-day tenant of the Rocky Mountain Assisted Living facility at Quincy and Wadsworth. Long-time Alzheimer's sufferer, he was placed on the 10th of October, and passed away at the facility sometime in the early morning hours of October 13th. While we do not blame the facility for his death, we are questioning his treatment (and ours) in the hours AFTER. We were NEVER contacted by ANY staff at the home. We have no actual time of passing, as a coroner was not called to the home, and it was obvious by the time my brother found him on the camera inside his room and showed up at his room at 5:30am, that rigor mortis had already set in (which takes hours). A coroner was never called to the home. The entire day of his death none of us were contacted by the home - at all. Nor the day after that, nor the day after that. Their chosen form of communication is via TEXT. As stated, my brother found him on the floor, via a small video camera in his room, and called the home himself. Upon his arrival at the facility, my dad was completely bare (save for a diaper) on the floor (for at least an hour - probably more), completely uncovered. He covered Dad himself, with the comforter from his bed. The home is blaming the paramedics for not calling us (they did not), while RMAL were the ones charged with Dad's well being. We had been told they check rooms each hour during the night, which is evidently not the case. To add insult to injury, all bodily fluids from my dad were on his sheets, crumpled up and left in a large pile in the middle of the bed for us to remove and dispose of ourselves - none of this was bagged. This is considered Bio-Hazardous Human Waste by the state of Colorado, and yet, it was left to lay in a fully occupied facility for three days before we removed it ourselves. THINK TWICE BEFORE LEAVING YOUR LOVED ONE TO THE CARE OF RMAL Lakewood!What do you like most about living here? Answer: My father died under their watch. No phone calls…left to lay bare on the floor, uncovered. Are there enough caregivers to handle the residents' needs, especially during emergencies? Answer: No Are the common areas pleasant and comfortable for socializing or relaxing? Answer: Yes How would you rate the quality and variety of the meals? (1-5) Answer: 3 Are special diets handled well? Answer: Yes Is the dining schedule flexible enough to meet your preferences? Answer: No How do you feel about the level of social interaction available with other residents? Answer: N/a How was the units offered in this community? Answer: Adequate Do you feel safe living in this community? Answer: No How well do you think the community handles emergencies or unexpected events? Answer: Horribly Are there any hidden fees or unexpected charges? Answer: Yes Would you recommend this community to others looking for senior living options? Answer: No Is there anything you wish you knew before moving in? Answer: Lack of compassion and honesty
