Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Personal Care and a nursing home?

Overall, the main difference between Personal Care and care offered in a nursing home is that nursing homes provide medical and Personal Care in a clinical setting, while Personal Care primarily provides care in a homelike, social setting.

Who qualifies for Personal Care?

Seniors whose health or well-being requires a higher level of support or those who would benefit from a healthier lifestyle and social engagement qualify for Personal Care. Most communities conduct a health assessment that follows state regulations to determine what level of care or assistance is best for each individual.

Other Care Options

What kind of services does Personal Care provide?

Personal Care communities give older adults personalized care in a residential setting. Most senior living options – including Personal Care communities – provide services that include:

  • One to three meals a day
  • Medication monitoring
  • Personal care, including dressing and bathing
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Some medical services
  • Social and recreational activities
  • Care coordination
  • Mobility assistance
  • Complimentary transportation

Some communities offer Respite Care or Short-Term Stays. Additionally, some communities offer access to home care services for those who may need more assistance than is provided at the community but who are not yet ready for a skilled nursing care center.

What is the cost of Personal Care?

The Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2021 estimates the regional median monthly rate for Personal Care is $4,263, which breaks down to around $140 per day. To put that into some context, the same survey says a private room in a nursing home will cost around $220 per day ($6,692 per month). Home health aide services average $144 per day.

Yes. During a Short-Term Stay, guests are provided with the same Personal Care services and amenities as permanent community residents.

Does medicare pay for Short-Term Personal Care home stays?

If outside services (such as rehabilitation) are needed during a resident’s Short-Term Stay in Personal Care, Medicare coverage would be available to qualifying patients.
