Arcadia Stilley House FAQ

How do I know which senior living option is right for me or my loved one?

Choosing the right option depends on your current health, level of independence, and lifestyle goals.

Assisted Living is best for those who need daily support with tasks like bathing or medication.

Is an assisted living community the same as a nursing home?

Not quite. While both provide support with daily activities, nursing homes offer around-the-clock medical care and are regulated more like healthcare facilities. The Stilley House offers a more residential, home-like setting with non-medical assistance that promotes independence and personal choice. Any medical needs are managed through outside providers.

Do I have to share a living unit (i.e., apartment) with another client?

No. Every resident has their own private apartment. However, shared accommodations may be arranged for spouses or companions who choose to live together.

Do I have to sign any legal papers?

Yes. Residents (or their representatives) will review and sign a lease agreement, which outlines services, policies, responsibilities, and protections. This ensures full transparency and mutual understanding from the start.

Will you provide me with transportation to my doctor, hairdresser, etc.?

Yes. We offer scheduled transportation for medical visits, errands, personal outings, and community events. Details and availability are outlined in your lease and our team is happy to help with scheduling.

Can I bring furniture and furnishings for my living unit?

Absolutely! We encourage residents to personalize their apartments with favorite furniture, décor, and keepsakes. Your space should reflect your style and feel like home from day one.

What determines the cost of living in an assisted living community?

Pricing is based on three key factors:

The size and layout of your apartment
The level of care and support you need
Any optional services or enhancements you choose

We offer transparent, all-inclusive monthly pricing with no large buy-in fees. Our team will walk you through everything so you can plan with confidence.

Are the assisted living community employees required to be trained?

Yes. The safety of our residents is a top priority. All staff members undergo criminal background checks as part of our hiring process.

Do you conduct criminal records checks on your employees?

Generally, Medicare and Medicaid do not cover room and board in assisted living communities. However, certain medical services from outside providers may qualify for coverage. Our team can help you explore what benefits may apply to your unique situation.

Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for assisted living services?

Typically, Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for room and board in assisted living. However, certain medical services provided by outside professionals may be covered. Our team can help you explore your options based on your current benefits.

Do long term care insurance policies pay for services in assisted living communities?

Many long-term care insurance policies include benefits for assisted living services. Since coverage varies, we recommend reviewing your specific policy. Our team is happy to assist you in understanding how your plan may apply at The Stilley House.
