How people pay for memory care in Naperville

While the costs associated with memory care can be significant, numerous options are available to help families finance these essential services. From private payment methods and VA benefits to Medicaid and Medicare, a wide range of resources can be leveraged to pay for memory care.

In this section, we will dive into the specifics of each payment method to help you understand and navigate these resources. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and tools to make an informed decision about financing memory care for your loved one.

Private pay methods

One of the most straightforward options for paying for memory care is through private pay methods such as savings, pensions, and Social Security benefits. Additionally, many families consider alternative ways to privately fund memory care. Some consider selling a property or tapping into its equity through a reverse mortgage. Others turn to health savings accounts, life insurance policies, or long-term care insurance as funding sources.

Regardless of the chosen method, private pay gives families the flexibility and control to find and finance the memory care facility that best meets their loved one’s needs.

Number of veterans who live in Naperville

About 23% of Naperville veterans are 75+

Naperville veterans may be entitled to VA benefits that can help cover the cost of memory care. To learn more about the VA benefits that might be available to your loved one, review the Illinois Veterans’ Benefits Guide. 

The Aid and Attendance Benefit can be used to offset the costs of memory care for those who require the aid and attendance of another person. Various factors, including income, assets, and medical conditions, determine eligibility for this benefit. To apply, submit a VA Form 21-2680 to your pension management center. Or you can submit the form in person at your regional VA office.

Veterans might also be eligible for the VA Pension, a benefit that can be used to cover housing or health-related needs. To access the VA Pension, one must meet eligibility requirements. To apply for the VA Pension, you can fill out an online application, mail VA Form 21P-527EZ to the VA Pension Intake Center, or submit the application in person at the regional VA office.

Additionally, VA disability compensation can assist veterans who have a disability as a result of service. The amount of compensation is determined based on the degree of the disability. To apply, mail VA Form 21-526EZ-ARE to the regional VA office or bring it in person. You can also apply online.

Navigating the complexities of the VA benefits system can be a challenge. That’s where local resources such as veterans service officers can lend a hand. These representatives are VA-vetted and experienced in helping veterans and their families understand and apply for VA benefits. To get in touch with a veterans services officer, contact a VA office or a veterans services organization (VSO), such as Veterans of Foreign Wars or the American Legion.

Medicaid

HealthChoice Illinois is the state’s Medicaid program. In Illinois, Medicaid cannot cover the room and board costs of a memory care facility. But Medicaid can take care of some health care expenses.

One specific program that’s included in HealthChoice Illinois’ offerings is the home and community based services (HCBS) waiver programs, which can provide support for individuals requiring memory care. The HCBS waivers include, but are not limited to, the following:

To get a comprehensive understanding of these waiver programs and to learn how to apply, go to the Application for Benefits Eligibility website.

Navigating the Medicaid program and understanding all the eligibility requirements can be a time-consuming challenge. Thankfully, there are resources that can help. To receive guidance on the application process, eligibility requirements, and which benefits your loved one might be entitled to, get in touch with the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging (called AgeGuide), the long-term care ombudsman, or the home care ombudsman.

Medicare

Medicare exists to aid seniors who are 65+ and individuals with specific disabilities, including those requiring memory care. Although Medicare does not directly cover custodial expenses for memory care, such as room and board, it does provide support for medically necessary care.

Another way to save money is through the Illinois Medicare Savings Programs, which are available to seniors in Naperville who need help with some out-of-pocket costs associated with Medicare. The programs can cover or reduce the cost of premiums or copayments. To learn more about these programs and how to apply, you can refer to the Illinois Medicare savings programs chart. An application can be submitted on the Application for Benefits Eligibility website.

Another helpful program is the Program for All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE). Set to launch in June 2024 in the Naperville area, PACE aims to provide community-based health services for seniors who might otherwise require nursing home care, allowing them to stay in the community longer and more safely. To learn about the designated PACE organizations that will be available when the program launches, visit the PACE program website.

Applying for Medicare

Applying for Medicare can be done through your local Social Security Administration office, or you can apply online. You can apply for Medicare by contacting your local Social Security Administration office or by submitting an online application.

Medicare’s eligibility criteria and the application process can be difficult to understand. But the Illinois Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP), provided by the Illinois Department on Aging, offers free personal counseling for seniors who need help understanding Medicare so they can make informed health care decisions. Visit the Illinois Department on Aging website to learn more.

The local ombudsman can also assist seniors in understanding the Medicare system and help with the application process. This invaluable resource is available free of cost.

Understand Naperville laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Memory care facilities are governed by a specific set of laws and regulations to ensure residents’ well-being and safety. It’s crucial for you to be aware of these regulations when considering memory care facilities for your loved one. In Illinois, memory care facilities fall under the broader scope of assisted living, but there are some additional regulations due to the specialized nature of memory care.

Licensing and inspections

Assisted living facilities, including memory care facilities, in Illinois must be licensed. These facilities undergo Life Safety Code/physical environment inspections that are conducted by the Illinois Department of Public Health’s (IDPH) Design and Construction Section as a part of the licensing process. IDPH also performs regular unannounced visits to verify compliance with the requirements and standards associated with licensure.

While direct online access to inspection reports and licenses isn’t available, you may file a Freedom of Information Act Request to procure these records. This process grants individuals legal access to inspect government records.

Regulations

Memory care facilities follow the general regulations for assisted living in addition to more specific guidelines tailored to residents with memory impairments. These regulations address staffing, training, and care plan development. Regulations include the following:

  • Memory care facilities must have staff available 24/7, with at least one staff member awake, on duty, and on-site at all times.
  • Staff members must undergo specific training to meet the needs of residents with cognitive impairments, including orientation to the characteristics and needs of the establishment’s residents and ongoing training in areas such as infection control, disaster procedures, and assisting residents with activities of daily living.
  • A service plan is a crucial aspect of memory care. It is developed in mutual agreement by the resident, their representative, the establishment’s manager, and a registered nurse. This plan addresses the level of service the resident receives, the type and frequency of health-related services needed, and who is responsible for providing the service plan. The service plan is reviewed annually (or more often if the resident’s condition, preferences, or service needs change).
  • Facilities that offer special programs for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia must disclose this information and follow specific guidelines. These guidelines ensure the safety of all residents, the coordination of communication with each resident and their representative, appropriate cognitive stimulation, and the development of emergency procedures.

Transportation for seniors in Naperville

While Naperville is largely a car-reliant city, there are various transportation options available.[08] Recognizing that seniors in memory care require special assistance when it comes to mobility, these services prioritize the safety and well-being of residents.

Sixty-six percent of our partner facilities offer complimentary transportation, while 58% provide at-cost transportation services, ensuring residents have access to the transportation services they need.[02]

Aside from on-site transportation options, seniors in Naperville can utilize Ride Assist Naperville (RAN). RAN is a private transportation option for seniors 60+ to get to medical appointments. RAN is operated under a 501(c)(3), Naperville Seniors in Action, so riders are not required to pay, though donations are accepted. Volunteer drivers can assist your loved one throughout the entire process, from pickup to drop-off. This personalized service fosters an environment of empathy and positivity and encourages peace of mind for seniors and their loved ones.

Ride DuPage is another option for those 65 and older in Naperville, as well as people with qualifying disabilities who are in need of budget-friendly transportation. Once registered, riders have the flexibility to schedule trips in advance with rates starting at just $2 within specific mileage (and then an additional $1 per mile beyond that). The first companion rider is free, which is critical for those in memory care who might require the assistance of a family member or caregiver.

Pace’s paratransit services provide discounted travel for riders and a companion. What truly sets these services apart for those in memory care is the highly trained staff members equipped to handle medical emergencies. A reservation-based service, Pace ensures seniors and their caregivers can easily plan their outings with reliable transportation.

Senior activities in Naperville

Engaging in enjoyable and meaningful activities is an important part of maintaining cognitive health and overall well-being for seniors, particularly those with memory care needs. Naperville offers a variety of activities, ranging from social gatherings to physical exercises and cognitive stimulation, specifically designed for seniors. These activities are perfect for spending quality time with visiting family and friends.

Memory Cafe is a wonderful opportunity for seniors living with dementia and their care partners to socialize and connect with others. This social gathering often includes music, dancing, art, and educational activities, providing a supportive and friendly atmosphere for all attendees.

Singing for Seniors provides easy access for seniors and those with physical disabilities to watch shows. For those facing transportation challenges, event volunteers are available to provide pickup and return services.
