Frequently Asked Questions at Traditions of Beavercreek

How do I know when it’s time to think about senior living for myself or an aging loved one?
There are a number of reasons you might consider moving to a senior living community. And while this decision is deeply personal, there are some cues that can help you decide if a senior living community is right for you:

  • Do you struggle with the tasks of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, and preparing meals?
  • Is keeping up on regular home maintenance and finances becoming more challenging?
  • Is navigating stairs (e.g. to the basement laundry area) becoming more difficult?
  • Are you ever concerned about your safety and security?
  • Would you enjoy the regular companionship of a caring community?
  • Do you wish you had more options for fun and engaging activities?
  • Would you benefit from the assistance and expertise of senior-care professionals?

If you are nodding your head to any of the above, please contact us to talk through your thoughts and questions. We also invite you to schedule a tour of the Beavercreek community, at your convenience, where you can see daily life unfold and get trusted answers to your questions. You can also visit our Decision Toolkit for information and advice on everything from paying for senior living, living options and assistance and managing change.

What if I or my loved one has a hard time adjusting?
First, know that we will be very respectful and attentive during this time of transition. Moving can be one of life's biggest changes and challenges, especially when someone has lived in their current home for most of his or her life. But it can also be a time of new beginnings and discovery,  when new people come into our lives and we see things with a fresh perspective. Your loved one will now be enjoying home-cooked meals each and every day, in the company of friendly wait staff and new friends. There will be things to look forward to, good company, assistance whenever needed and still plenty of time to rest and have privacy.We can help with laundry, housekeeping, medication and daily care and activities as much or as little as needed. And our nurses are here around the clock for added peace of mind. Most importantly, we are guests in your loved one's home. We are here to make them more comfortable, to feel warm and welcome. We'll keep you posted on how they're doing and invite you to visit as often as you'd like.

Snow & trash removal

Am I eligible for financial assistance?

If you are a wartime veteran or the surviving spouse of a wartime veteran, you may be entitled to a widow's pension. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers two different special pensions called 'Housebound' and 'Aid and Attendance' (A&A).

We can help you connect with resources to help determine your eligibility.

Please note: The VA must consider income from all sources when reviewing the application. This includes Social Security income, income from investments (interest income), retirement pensions or 401K, income from rental property, etc. If the veteran is married, the income from both is considered.

Some ongoing medical expenses can be used to reduce countable income. This includes the cost of Assisted Living care, in-home care, and medical supplemental insurance. If you have been rated 'Housebound' or in need of 'Aid & Attendance,' and you are paying for in-home care, the provider does not have to be a licensed healthcare provider for you to claim this deduction.

What does Long-term Care Insurance cover?

Long-term insurance may cover home care and home health care services, assisted living, adult day care, respite care, hospice care, nursing homes, and Alzheimer's facilities. Not all long-term care insurance policies cover all services, nor do they pay the same for similar services. This is something to investigate thoroughly before purchasing.

Nursing Homes and Alzheimer's Care

Nursing home care and Memory Care may be paid for by long-term care insurance but with stipulations. Policy terms may vary widely, so be aware of what is and isn't included and the terms of coverage.

Please check with your policy for specifics regarding your coverage.

Moving seems so overwhelming. Where do I begin?
