Senior Living Costs and Pricing Resources

Pricing for senior living varies based on several factors, including the type of care needed, the community's location, and amenities offered. For specific pricing details, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to contact a community directly for a personalized quote based on your needs and preferences.

Independent living: In addition to your apartment, the monthly price for independent living communities typically includes access to all the programs, meals, services, and amenities a community has to offer. This means you can enjoy social gatherings, a full calendar of events and programs, and a wide array of amenities without the added costs. Independent living communities are not clinically assessed for care, so these rates do not include care services or medication management.

Independent living at Cedarhurst Cottages provides unique services and amenities based on residents' preferences. Pricing for Cedarhurst Cottages is available upon request.

Assisted living: In addition to accommodations, the monthly rental rate for assisted living at a Cedarhurst community generally includes housekeeping, laundry, meals, and apartment maintenance. It also grants access to a variety of educational events, fitness opportunities, social gatherings, and a full calendar of events and programs. The price for each individual can be adjusted based on the level of care and assistance with day-to-day needs and medication management that's needed.

Memory care: Memory care offers a single, all-inclusive monthly rate that covers accommodations and all specialized care and services for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. This includes a higher staff-to-resident ratio, a secure environment, personalized care plans, assistance with daily needs and medication management, and specialized programs.

This all-inclusive approach continues until a resident's needs progress to a level that requires enhanced care. At that point, services are assessed, and any additional costs are added to the monthly rate.

Private pay: Most residents use private funds to pay for their monthly costs. This can include personal savings, income from a pension or Social Security, or the proceeds from selling a home.

Long-term care insurance: If you have a long-term care insurance plan, you may be able to use your benefits to offset some of the monthly costs. We recommend checking your policy and speaking with your agent or a Cedarhurst team member to understand the coverage.

VA benefits: Eligible veterans and their surviving spouses may be able to use VA benefits, such as the Veterans Aid and Attendance benefit, to help cover the costs of assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing.

What happens if my care needs change?
Cedarhurst's communities are designed to provide flexible support. A care assessment is conducted to determine the ideal level of care for each person. As needs change, the care plan can be adjusted to ensure the right support is always in place. This includes assistance with daily tasks and medication management in assisted living and specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care in a memory care community.

Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No, Cedarhurst communities do not require a long-term contract. The monthly rental model offers flexibility. Additionally, the Cedarhurst Promise is a 60-day money-back guarantee, providing peace of mind as you settle in.
