What families say about Charlotte communities
Assisted Living
The Social at Cotswold has a great community. I have had the privilege of working with the Leadership, the Clinical Team and other staff. One thing I have noticed in all of their roles is that they are dedicated to excellence and care about the residents. Willow and Briana are easy to reach and will help families with any questions they may have about The Social home. Karen Gore, the president, has a genuine heart for residents and is always open to suggestions for staff. The dedication and care you receive when you enter the community will be evident. This community is highly recommended.

Assisted Living
Steele Creek is where my wife has lived since her move to Assisted Living. Over the past three months, our experience at Steele Creek has been amazing. My wife and I were welcomed by the staff, and treated as family. There are many things I love about the staff and cleanliness, but my family and me notice that my wife smiles more now than ever since she was sick three years back. Steele Creek staff and managers, thank you!

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.
