LIFE CARE refers to a retirement community that combines housing and comprehensive health care ser- vices for seniors. A life-care contract is an agreement that authorizes long term care insurance payments as part of a patient’s residency agreement.
LIVING ARRANGEMENTS vary. The best way to assess housing op- tions is to tour a community. Terms like garden home, villa apartment, or cottage usually refer to the style of home (e.g., gabled versus terra cotta roof, etcetera). Condominiums typically are independently owned apartment-style homes.
MAINTENANCE-FREE retirement communities allow residents to live in a home without worrying about the hassles usually associated with own- ing a residence (repairs, snow remov- al, landscaping, etcetera). Housing costs in a maintenance-free commu- nity also might cover transportation, cable, food, and other amenities.
MEMORY CARE OR MEMORY- SUPPORT CARE is given to pa- tients suffering from dementia who are too ill to remain alone in their homes yet are not sick enough to re- quire intensive care. Patients who receive memory care
get assistance with daily activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and taking medications. Patients also might receive services designed to enhance their psychological well-be- ing and creativity, such as art therapy or music-appreciation courses.
PERSONAL CARE refers to ac- tivities related to personal hygiene and beautification. These activities include tooth-brushing, bathing, shaving, hair care, perfuming, and applying makeup.
PURCHASE AND RENTAL refer to payment options available to residents in retirement communities. With a purchase agreement, resi- dents have an ownership interest in their homes and make monthly pay- ments similar to paying a mortgage. With a rental agreement, residents
