Managing the Cost of Senior Living

Navigating the financial aspects and cost of senior living is crucial for families and seniors planning for long-term care. At Westwood Inn, we strive to provide manageable payment options while maintaining high-quality services and facilities. Understanding these costs and the associated value can significantly aid in making informed decisions about senior living arrangements.

Breaking Down the Costs

Senior living costs at Westwood Inn vary depending on the type and extent of care needed, as well as the specific living arrangements chosen. Our options range from independent living to assisted living and memory care, each tailored to different levels of support and care requirements. Costs typically cover housing, utilities, meals, housekeeping, maintenance, and a full spectrum of activities and programs designed to enrich the lives of our residents. We ensure that families are well-informed of what each package includes, helping to match our services with the resident’s needs and financial capabilities.

Financial Planning and Assistance

We encourage families to explore various financial planning strategies and assistance programs that can help manage the cost of senior living. This might include long-term care insurance, veteran’s benefits, reverse mortgages, or Medicaid, depending on eligibility. Our financial advisors are available to guide families through these options, providing clarity on which might be best suited to their specific circumstances and how to apply for and secure these resources.

Cost-Saving Tips

To further manage costs effectively, we recommend considering shared living arrangements or smaller living spaces, which can significantly reduce monthly expenses. Taking advantage of all included amenities and services, such as meals, transportation, and on-site health monitoring, also maximizes the value received for the cost paid. Additionally, staying informed about any changes in services or fees and regularly reviewing care plans ensures that residents only pay for the services they need.
