Care Patrol – a FREE senior housing placement service that helps families find independent living, assisted living, memory care and in-home care options. They assess client’s care level needs, financial needs and general preferred locations to recommend the best and safest care options. Their Senior Care Advisors aren’t a voice on the phone during a one-time call. CarePatrol Advisors personally meet with all of their clients to gain a full understanding of your needs – and that is just the beginning. Their Advisors then personally identify the most appropriate communities and accompany each family as they tour. After the tours, they help each family navigate the often-difficult decision-making process.

There are several factors to be taken into consideration when making the decision for long term care:
Type of Facility – Many Assisted Living Facilities have “Memory Care” units. These facilities normally do not accept Medicaid or Medicare and can be costly (though possibly less costly than round the clock home care). Most nursing homes accept Medicaid. Medicare will NOT pay for long term care. NOTE: Some Assisted Living Facilities have enhanced licenses for”enhanced assistant living”which means they are able to help patients 1) in a wheelchair, 2) who need a one person assist, 3) help feeding to a degree (handling food on a fork to the person to feed themselves, and 4) help shower
Service History – Research the facility. Does it have a good track record of care for residents and support for families? Is the facility sufficiently staffed? Is there a large turnover in staff? Your long term care ombudsman is a good source of information on specific facilities. Check their New York State Department of Health survey results.
Visit the facility – Is the location convenient or family members to visit? Visiting often is crucial to good care for your loved one. Is the facility clean? Does the staff appear friendly and approachable. Go with your gut, does the facility “feel right”?
Talk to current residents and their families – Ask them about their experiences. If they have had any problems, were they resolved satisfactorily?
Does the facility have a dedicated dementia unit? How is that unit secured? Is the staff familiar with Lewy Body Dementia? Are there activities geared toward this population?
Cost – is it time to consider applying for Medicaid or establishing a trust?
