Frequently Asked Questions
How does pricing work?
We offer all-inclusive monthly rates based on the level of care needed. Unlike larger facilities, there are no hidden fees or complex pricing structures. We're transparent about costs and work with families to find solutions, including helping navigate long-term care insurance and VA benefits.
What makes you different from a nursing home?
As a residential care home, we offer a smaller, more personalized alternative to traditional nursing facilities. With fewer residents, we provide more individualized attention in a genuine home environment, while still offering 24-hour professional supervision and assistance.
Do you accept Medicare?
While we don't directly accept Medicare, we can help families explore financing options including long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance benefits, and private pay solutions to make quality care affordable.
