Welcome to Salem Manor PLACEMENT REFERRAL SERVICES

 Salem Manor Supportive Housing offers placement services for individuals who need more care or are not suited for independent living. Our team assists in finding a more appropriate home for your loved one. We begin by assessing the client's specific needs and budget, then match them with a home that best fits their situation. 

Q1: What is a 24-hour care residential home?
A 24-hour care residential home is a specialized housing facility that provides around-the-clock care and support to individuals who require assistance with daily activities or have medical needs. These homes are staffed by trained caregivers and professionals to ensure the residents' safety, well-being, and quality of life.

Q2: Who can benefit from a 24-hour care residential home?
24-hour care residential homes are ideal for individuals such as:

• Elderly adults who need assistance with daily living activities.
• Individuals with chronic medical conditions or disabilities.
• People recovering from surgery or illness.
• Residents with cognitive impairments, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Q3: What services are typically offered in a 24-hour care residential home?
These homes usually provide a variety of services, including:

• Assistance with activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, dressing, eating).
• Medication management and administration.
• Meal preparation and dietary accommodations.
• Housekeeping and laundry services.
• Social activities and companionship.
• 24-hour supervision for safety.

Q4: What is the difference between a 24-hour care residential home and a nursing home?
While both provide care services, there are key differences:

• 24-hour care residential homes focus on providing non-medical assistance and a homelike environment, often for individuals who are semi-independent but need help with daily tasks or memory care patients who need total help with ADL's.
• Nursing homes are medical facilities that provide higher levels of medical care for individuals with significant medical needs requiring constant attention from licensed medical professionals.

Q5: How are 24-hour care residential homes family-oriented and homelike?
These homes are designed to provide a warm, welcoming environment that feels more like a family home than an institution. Residents are encouraged to bring personal belongings to make their space comfortable and familiar. The smaller size of these homes allows for more personalized care, fostering close relationships between staff, residents, and their families. Caregivers often get to know residents on a personal level, creating a sense of community and trust.

Q6: Who pays for 24-hour residential homes?
Payment for 24-hour care residential homes typically comes from:

• Private funds: Many families pay out-of-pocket using savings, retirement funds, or proceeds from selling property.
• Long-term care insurance: Some individuals have insurance policies that cover part or all of the costs of residential care.
• Veterans benefits: Veterans and their spouses may qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits to help cover the cost of care.

Q7: Is 24-hour care expensive?
Yes, the cost of care can be expensive. Many 24-hour care residential homes range in price from $4,500 to $8,000 per month, depending on the level of care and services required by the resident.

Q8: Can residents bring personal belongings to a 24-hour care residential home?
Yes, residents are usually encouraged to bring personal items such as furniture, photos, and keepsakes to make their living space feel more like home.
