The Villas consist of four cluster licensed family care homes all on one spacious property. There are three six-bedroom villas and one three-bedroom unit. The square footage of each six resident care home is 4000 and the three resident care home is 2,200 square feet. The Villas are unique because every bedroom is furnished with a full-size bed and there are no semi-private rooms. The residents enjoy warm, loving and compassionate care from skilled, trained and professional caregivers. The Villas at Benson is strategically located at the intersection of I-95 and I-40.

What is a senior assisted living facility?

Assisted living is not a nursing home. An assisted living facility is a senior housing facility that provides housing, personal care, and limited healthcare to seniors. Assisted living residents typically need support in daily activities, but are in good to moderate health overall.

Do I have the right to get my parent out of a nursing home and into assisted living?

If you have a power of attorney, you may have this right. If your parent is legally responsible for themselves, they also have this right. You may have to sign a document that your parent is moving against medical advice. However, make sure you are completely prepared for the move, and that the facility they are moving to has the supportive services they need.

Can I fill my room with my own furnishings?

We encourages you to make your living spaces your own. Bring all the comforts and furnishings of your current home to your new community. You can even decorate your entrance to show off your individual style, allowing friends and family to easily find your suite.

What is the average cost of senior assisted care living?

Assisted living costs depend on many factors, including the cost of living in the area, services and amenities provided. In addition, square footage and the floor plan of the unit have major effects on the monthly costs. Floor plans may be private or shared, and may include or share kitchenettes and bathrooms.

In addition, there may be additional fees such as move-in fees, yearly community fees, or additional support outside of your care level. Utilities, phone, and cable may also be out-of-pocket costs in some communities. Consider these when looking at the cost of a particular facility.

Although the assisted living costs of may sound high, they are actually comparable to the costs of living at home, especially when you consider the costs of in-home care and home maintenance. Assisted living facilities often provide three meals a day, transportation, healthcare services, housekeeping, laundry and entertainment as part of the monthly fee.

How can I make senior care more affordable?

Many state and federal programs offer financial assistance for certain senior living expenses. For instance, in the U.S. there is a Federal benefit, called “Aid and Attendance,” which both veterans and their spouses may be eligible to receive to assist with assisted living fees. Some Long-Term Insurance Policies may also cover part or all of the costs for assisted living care. We encourage you to speak with your financial advisor to learn more about options to help afford senior living.
