Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?

Overall, the main difference between Assisted Living and care offered in a nursing home is that nursing homes provide medical and personal care in a clinical setting, while Assisted Living primarily provides personal care in a homelike, social setting.

Who qualifies for assisted living?

Seniors whose health or well-being requires a higher level of support or those who would benefit from a healthier lifestyle and social engagement qualify for Assisted Living.

Most communities conduct a health assessment that follows state regulations to determine what level of care or assistance is best for each individual.

What kind of services does Assisted Living provide?

Assisted Living communities give older adults personalized care in a residential setting. Most Assisted Living communities – including Charter Senior Living Assisted Living communities – provide services, including:

  • One to three meals a day
  • Monitoring of medication
  • Personal care, including dressing and bathing
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Some medical services
  • Social and recreational activities
  • Care coordination
  • Mobility assistance
  • Complimentary transportation

Some Assisted Living communities offer respite care or short-term care. Additionally, some communities offer access to home care services for those who may need more assistance than is provided at the community but who are not yet ready for a skilled nursing care center.

How much does assisted living cost?

The Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2024 estimates the Rockford-area regional median monthly rate for Assisted Living is $5,408 which breaks down to around $174 per day. To put that into some context, the same survey says a private room in a nursing home will cost around $399 per day ($12,030 per month). Home health aide services average $198 per day.

Does Medicare pay for Assisted Living?

While your personal health insurance coverage continues and your pharmaceutical coverage continues, Medicare typically doesn’t pay for Assisted Living.

Most Assisted Living residents pay for this kind of care from their personal resources or with help from coverage provided by long-term care insurance. Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefits can help cover the cost for eligible Veterans and surviving spouses who are over age 65.
