What families say about Cresskill communities
Assisted Living
After being alone for 10 years, my dad was 84 years old and nervous about being "put into a home". To be completely honest, I was anxious for him. I was unsure if the staff would show enough kindness. Given his hearing loss, would they be able to communicate with him? He is very "discerning" about his taste preferences. Would the food be okay? He would make friends. What if everything was perfect? Would he be willing to admit it? Sunrise has been his home for 6 weeks. Last weekend, he said that Sunrise is his home. He described the staff as his family and said they care about him. For the first time in years, he's made new friends. I get pictures of his dinner each night from him, and it's almost like he is a private chef. Every night, he has one of his childhood favorite dishes on his plate. Monday: brisket with mashed potatoes. Tues: Pot roast. Weds, prime rib. Thurs. Thurs. Thank you so much!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the criteria for assisted living?
The primary criterion for assisted living is requiring assistance with ADLs. In addition, there are more criteria like exhibiting High Risk Senior (HRS) characteristics, being unable to live at home safely, etc.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living?
No, Medicare does not directly pay for assisted living when seniors require custodial care (ADL assistance). However, Medicare can be used to pay for assisted living medical costs.
How much does assisted living cost per month?
According to Genworth, in 2020, the median cost for Assisted Living was $4,300 per month. This cost will vary from city to city along with amenities, services, and other factors.
Does long term care insurance cover assisted living?
While most long-term care insurance policies do not cover the total cost of assisted living, the limited assistance that most policies provide can help to lower the cost of nonmedical long-term care. When combined with other choices like Medicaid waivers and lower fees for low-income households, long-term care insurance can help many seniors manage the expense of the care they require.
Are assisted living expenses tax deductible?
If you or a loved one lives in an assisted living community, you may be eligible for a medical expense tax deduction for some or all of your assisted living costs. Furthermore, the federal government recognizes the financial stress placed on family members who aid in the payment of assisted living for a loved one. That implies you may be allowed to take this deduction if you have a senior dependent in assisted living.
Do you bring your own furniture to assisted living?
You can help your parent with dementia to move to assisted living by making them feel familiar with the transition and giving them enough time to adjust to the shift.
How to move a parent with dementia to assisted living?
Residents in assisted living are welcome to bring their own furniture as long as the bed remains accessible in the event of an emergency and the amount of furniture does not endanger the resident's safety.
How does assisted living work with Social Security?
Most seniors can use different methods to pay for assisted living including social security pay. Seniors can use this to pay for a portion of assisted living as it may not cover the total expenses.
What assisted living expenses are tax deductible?
Residents of assisted living facilities who want to claim tax deductions for their services must be "chronically ill." Some Assisted Living seniors may be able to deduct the entire monthly rental charge. In contrast, others may only be able to deduct the specified personal care services.
