Costs and Payment Options for Kentucky Assisted Living

Statewide, the average assisted living cost in Kentucky is at $3,520 per month. Kentucky is actually a pretty affordable state for assisted living compared to others. The cost is substantially below the national average of around $4,000 per month. But, in saying that, you have to take some important information to heart. You never know when or if the senior is going to need Kentucky memory or Alzheimer’s care, which run up the cost significantly.

In fact, there are many other things that one should be prepared for like stroke or other debilitating things that could cause the senior to need temporary care and rehabilitation or require a stay in a Kentucky retirement home. Memory care is only one facet. There may be speech therapy and Physical Therapy, among other things, that the senior needs. These required extras could cost you several hundred to $1,000 or more extra per month for months or years, depending on the senior’s condition.

So, why does this cost rise so sharply? The logic behind costs for any senior living residences in Kentucky is that the more care is required, the higher the cost will be. If the person needs memory care, the cost is for extra security and specialized staffing. If the person needs nursing care, the extra cost is for a staff nurse or additional monitoring by a doctor.

At this moment, there is no Medicare support for Kentucky residents who are staying in assisted living facilities, nor are there any waiver programs. This state focuses on keeping the senior retiree at home and as independent as possible. This will keep them out of a nursing facility and this saves the state a lot of money.  Other options like long-term-care insurance and reverse mortgage can assist with paying for assisted living in Kentucky.

Assisted Living Regulations in Kentucky

In the state of Kentucky, assisted living facilities are referred to as Certified Assisted Living Facilities. In some states, the senior care facilities do not have to be licensed as such and certification will be the legal replacement for that. There are still stringent requirements that Kentucky’s assisted living facilities must comply with, whether or not the senior care facility is licensed or certified. It’s good to do the research into the exact requirements to determine if the assisted living facility is what you are comfortable with or what your current medical needs require. This way, the senior is placed in good conscience and in the appropriate facility.

The certifying authority for assisted living in Kentucky is the Cabinet for Health and Family Services in the Department for Aging and Independent Living.

The requirements for assisted living facilities in the state of Kentucky are as follows: The senior occupants are the people who decide whether or not they want to reside alone in a single occupancy assisted living unit. Or, if they want a roommate, that’s entirely up to them. Married couples could share accommodation naturally and without other roommates.

Each unit in a certified Kentucky assisted living facility must have minimum 200 square feet of living space. This means space that is actually lived in and does not consider the closets and alcoves as well as in some places the door swing area. The assisted living accommodation should allow all that reside within it a safe space to move about and avoid unnecessary physical contact. The maximum capacity is 2 seniors in any size unit.

For assisted living units built prior to July 14, 2000, they can have one single standard sized bathtub or a shower shared with a maximum of 5 senior care residents.

Discussing Your Move to Kentucky Assisted Living With Family

When it comes to transitioning an aged parent to a Kentucky assisted living community, it's common to find families in serious conflict over the best place to look for a senior living facility. In such a circumstance, family dynamics can be a powerful force to deal with. Perhaps, you feel you have found the right place for your aged mom or dad, and you have resolved to help them transition into an assisted living facility in Kentucky. But this does not go down well with other members of the family. To some, your aged parent would be better off in a different state, while others may feel the move isn't necessary at all. How can you resolve this issue without creating a thorn in the flesh of others or hurting their feelings the more?

Although this is a problematic situation, siblings must put their interests aside and consider the needs of their aged parents first. First of all, you have to determine the primary cause of the conflict. Are your siblings objecting because they prefer you take your older parent to a facility in another state, or they are finding it challenging to deal with the necessity of the change?

How to approach the conflict:

  • Although it can be pretty challenging to have fruitful conversations during such conflicts, it's best to have such discussions in the presence of your aged parent. While discussing, all the attention and decision-making should be focused on them. You should consider the aspects of assisted living communities that would be most necessary and preferred by them.
  • Try as much as possible to have a lengthy conversation with all your siblings at the same time. Ensure all deciding family members are present. If not, you may make use of a conference call to enable all participants to attend the meeting.
  • Give each member of the family, including your aged parent, an equal opportunity to express their interest, complaints, dissatisfaction, and fear associated with assisted living. Clear communication is the key to conflict resolution.
  • Politely explain the reasons why you think your elderly loved one will be better off spending their retirement years in an assisted living facility in Kentucky instead of another state. You may also go ahead to mention the various senior living benefits the elderly in the state stand to get, which might not be present in another state.
  • Clarify the ease of transitioning your aged parent. Discuss how you will continue to search for an assisted living community that is located in the same state and in or near the town that is your parent's home. More so, it would be beneficial to plan a scheduled visit to facilities. Point out that you will not need to be traveling long distances across different states to see your aged mom or dad and that you will be nearby after their move.
  • Kentucky has several senior benefits, state laws, and regulations that protect the interest of seniors living within the state. Moreover, the cost of assisted living facilities in the Bluegrass State is not as high as other neighboring states. Help your siblings understand how these factors will play a significant role in the life of your aged parent as they spend more time in an assisted living community.

When your siblings disagree on issues such as choosing the best place for your aged parent to enjoy senior living, you shouldn't see it as an end to the relationship between all of you. You can apply these tips and resolve the issue amicably without hurting the feelings of anyone.
