When you move to PVRC, you move to a neighborly, personal environment that in no way feels institutional. The design of the homes and the friendly residents replace the feeling of a “retirement facility” with that of a “neighborhood.” Pisgah Valley Retirement Community provides the confidence of continuing care by having all three levels of lifestyle on campus – Independent Living, Assisted Living and Long-term Care. In addition, there is skilled care and rehabilitation for short term treatment of accidents or illnesses.

No, Medicare does not pay for assisted living. However, long-term care insurance policies are becoming more popular and some include assisted living options.

Assisted living is both a housing and health care option for seniors. Assistance offered varies greatly from one facility to another. Popular benefits facilities have in common include increased socialization with peers, enhanced nutritional status and greater compliance with medication schedules. Assisted living residents need assistance with two or more activities of daily living (ADLs), such as assistance with bathing, hygiene, dressing and medications. Some assisted living facilities are licensed to perform more services than others. For instance, if licensed as a Multi Unit Assisted Living with Services, residents of the facility must be able to transport (from chair to bed, etc.) and bathe and dress themselves.

Independent Living is a term used in many states to define a housing option for seniors. Most residents require little assistance, but choose independent living for peace of mind, knowing they are approaching the time they will need more help. Housing can range from single-family structures to multi-level apartment buildings. Some are monthly rentals, some are sold and others require the upfront payment of an entrance fee. Some are located in a CCRC (Continuum of Care Retirement Community) providing the assurance of higher levels of care, as needed. Monthly fees vary, depending on the services included. For instance, some offer meal plans and others do not. Some have staff available to assist with emergencies 24-hours a day. Others provide similar services through home health agencies. It is important to verify all these facts prior to choosing a retirement community.
