Cost for Assisted Living and Memory Care Services in Delaware

Delaware is not only a sales-tax free state, but The First State also strives to provide affordable senior care options for the elderly as well. The average assisted living facility cost in Delaware is $3,950 per month. It is also essential to note that due to the specialized senior care required, memory care in Delaware can sometimes bear additional costs, in excess to other assisted living facility services. It is important you ask the Delaware assisted living facility about their memory care costs and the costs that an aged adult may incur if their Alzheimer’s disease progresses. More reasonable than in many other states, the memory care services cost an average of about $934 more, for a monthly average of $4,883 per month. This slightly additional memory care service rate is due to the necessity for extra specialized staffing and the ability to safely secure the premises for flight risk. To be on the safe side, it is usually vital to ask the assisted living facility about their rates if additional senior care services are needed in the future, such as for Alzheimer’s disease or other healthcare conditions. As a result, you will be able to financially plan and financially manage the senior care costs of your Delaware senior citizen loved one.

Payment Options for Delaware Assisted Living

Payment options as far as Medicaid is concerned are nonexistent in Delaware. In fact, the non-Medicaid assistance programs are also not good for assisted living facilities in Delaware. The state has also opted for statewide Medicaid programs for the elderly rather than the Medicaid waiver programs they once had. The elder care Medicaid programs they do have are actually high-quality but like most states now are geared to keeping the person at home and independent. They seem to be quite good for adult daycare as well as caregiver respite care.

So, this doesn’t mean it’s out of the question to be able to take advantage of some Medicare programs for your unique senior living situation if you do the right research and act in a timely manner. Other benefits like long-term care insurance and veteran’s benefits should be looked into as well as non-profits. If you can keep the person needing care at home for a while until you can sort out payment for assisted living in Delaware, then you should definitely do so.

Some of the things you may need to know to make your assisted living payment plan a reality and doing it efficiently are below. Knowing the basics of assisted living that are common for most states is a must. When looking at other options apart from Medicaid, it’s important to understand a few things beyond the rate posted as an average range. Be aware that the rate can increase when the assisted living resident needs memory or Alzheimer’s care.

So, for example, if the rate a resident moves in at is $5,000 and you’re just barely able to cover it, between say, long-term care insurance and another supplement, keep in mind that the memory care can be more than a $1,000 additional if the need for it arises. To be safe, when you plan, plan for the possibility of needing memory care at the start. Even if you think your loved one won’t need it, elder healthcare can be a tricky situation and the more you can plan for, the better off you’ll be.

Other things to be aware of is that assisted living in Delaware is much like renting an apartment or house. Many Delaware senior living facilities will ask for a deposit upfront.

Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment in Delaware Assisted Living Facilities

Alzheimer’s disease may be considered as a memory loss illness, and thus usually requires specialized memory care services at a Delaware assisted living facility. Such memory care services include helping the elderly keep track of their medical appointments, take their medications at the appropriate time and as prescribed, and perform their activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living for a quality senior life.

As Alzheimer’s disease predisposes elderly adults to an increased risk of injury due to impairment of judgment, poor problem-solving skills, or falls due to wandering, the assisted living facilities in the Small Wonder State put special efforts into creating secure environments for the safety of the residents of the Delaware assisted living homes. There are wander guards on the doors, large ‘Exit’ signs on doors, and sound alarm systems. The assisted living facility caregivers also ensure that all extension cords are safely stored away so that such objects do not serve as obstacles and tripping hazards, which could result in elderly falls and injuries. It is also important to ensure that the Delaware assisted living facilities you tour install handrails, grab bars, locks on various cabinets, and safe control of potentially dangerous substances, such as, medicine, alcohol, toxic cleaning agents and substances, dangerous utensils, and tools. Delaware’s assisted living facilities should also implement precautionary measures to ensure that lighters and matches are out of reach, fire extinguishers are easily accessible, and the carbon monoxide detectors are effective. Assisted living communities take proper measures to ensure that their residents are unable to access the equipment used by maintenance, housekeeping, and laundry services; the elderly adults may mistake such substances and accidentally consume or spill them, which may lead to injuries and sickness. Assisted living facilities in Delaware place signs to help the elderly adults easily navigate throughout the assisted living facility, as elderly adults with Alzheimer’s disease may become disoriented. The facilities also have strong security systems with constant surveillance in order to ensure that the safety and security of your Delaware elderly adults are constantly monitored.

Room Requirements at Delaware Assisted Living:

Excluding closets and other alcoves, each private bedroom serving one resident will need 100 square feet. Each shared room requires 80 square feet. Kitchen with meal preparation and storage facilities are required and each room built for ease of movement from space to space. Bathing access with full bath must be either within the individual room or readily accessible. The licensing for assisted living is overseen by the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services.
