How people pay for assisted living in Naperville

It can be difficult to navigate the complex landscape of senior living — and the numerous avenues that are available for paying for assisted living in Naperville. Unlike independent living and senior apartments, assisted living communities may be partially covered by certain insurance and benefit programs because these facilities provide care services.

In this section, we’ll explore the various payment options that are available, including private payments, VA benefits, Medicaid, and Medicare.

Private pay methods

Private pay methods are among the most straightforward options for paying for assisted living in Naperville. Private pay includes income sources such as savings, Social Security benefits, pensions, and investment returns. Additionally, it might be worth considering other financing options such as life insurance policies, reverse mortgages, long-term care insurance plans, or a health savings account.

It’s important to understand all the payment options available so you or your loved one can make an informed decision. Learn more about additional sources that can help finance assisted living in Naperville below:

VA benefits
3724

Number of veterans who live in Naperville

About 23% of Naperville veterans are 75+

Veterans in Naperville may be entitled to benefits that can help cover the costs associated with assisted living. You can learn more about the VA benefits available by reviewing the Illinois veterans’ benefits guide. 

The Aid and Attendance benefit may help eligible veterans and their spouses pay for assisted living in Naperville. The benefit can cover senior housing costs, including assisted living facilities in Naperville. However, it’s needs-based, meaning accessing this benefit depends on the applicant’s financial and medical eligibility. To apply, submit a VA Form 21-2680 to your pension management center or submit it in person at your regional VA office.

Another benefit that’s available for veterans is the VA Pension. This can be utilized to cover housing or health-related needs. You can check eligibility for the VA Pension online. 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 your application in person at your regional VA office.

The VA also offers disability compensation for veterans who became disabled as a result of service. The level of compensation that can be received is based on the degree of the disability. To apply for this compensation, you or your loved one can mail VA Form 21-526EZ-ARE to the regional VA office or bring it in person. The form can also be submitted online.

Navigating the VA benefits system can be complex, but don’t worry — there is help available. Veterans service officers and other local resources can assist with understanding eligibility and applying for these benefits. Veterans services officers are VA-vetted and recognized representatives who specifically help veterans apply for the benefits that they might be entitled to, helping to ease the transition into an assisted living facility in Naperville. To get in touch with one, contact a VA office or veterans services organization (VSO), such as the American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Medicaid

HealthChoice Illinois, Illinois’ Medicaid program, provides benefits for eligible senior care services. In Naperville, Medicaid can help with some health-related costs associated with assisted living but not rent.

One component of HealthChoice Illinois’ offerings is its home and community based services (HCBS) waiver programs. These waivers include the following:

  • IL HCBS Waiver for Persons Who Are Elderly: This waiver is designed to assist older adults and provides services including adult day care, emergency home response, homemaker services, and personal assistant services.
  • IL HCBS Waiver for Persons With Brain Injury: This waiver supports individuals diagnosed with a brain injury with services including adult day care, prevocational services, supported employment, behavior therapies, and environmental accessibility adaptations.
  • IL HCBS Waiver for Persons With HIV or AIDS: This waiver offers a range of homemaker services, personal emergency response systems, and specialized medical equipment for people diagnosed with HIV or AIDS.

For a comprehensive understanding of these programs and to apply, visit the Application for Benefits Eligibility website.

Applying for Medicaid and understanding eligibility requirements can be a cumbersome process. But remember: You don’t have to go through this alone. Naperville has local resources available to help you.

AgeGuide (the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging), the long-term care ombudsman, and the home care ombudsman are available to help you or your loved one understand eligibility, the application process, and which benefits you or your loved one might be entitled to.

Medicare

Medicare is a health coverage program that supports seniors who are 65+ or people who are suffering from certain disabilities. While Medicare doesn’t cover living costs associated with assisted living facilities, it can be a valuable resource for covering necessary medical needs within these care settings.

Comprehensive information about Medicare can be found online. To apply for Medicare, you or your loved one can contact your local Social Security Administration office or sign up online.

The process of understanding and applying for Medicare can be challenging. Thankfully, the Illinois Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) can help. SHIP is a free health insurance counseling service for Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers. It provides free benefits counseling, giving seniors the tools and knowledge to make informed health care decisions. To learn more about SHIP, visit the Illinois Department on Aging website.

The long-term care ombudsman can also help. The ombudsman is a government-appointed official who helps seniors navigate Medicare and provides assistance with understanding eligibility, completing applications, and more. Getting assistance from the ombudsman is free and can be invaluable when navigating the Medicare landscape.

The following are some Medicare programs you or your loved one might qualify for that could help cover medically necessary in-home care in an assisted living facility.

  • Illinois Medicare savings programs: Naperville seniors can find support through Illinois’ medicare savings programs. These programs can help cover Medicare premiums, co-insurance, and deductibles. The 2022 Illinois Medicare savings programs chart outlines more detailed information and application instructions. When you or your loved one are ready to apply, the application can be submitted directly through the Application for Benefits Eligibility website.
  • Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE): Illinois is set to launch PACE in June 2024, which will provide comprehensive community-based health services. This program will give seniors more choices for how they receive care as their needs evolve, helping them remain at home or in their assisted living community longer. Read more about PACE and the regions it will cover on the Illinois PACE program website.

Understand Illinois laws and regulations for assisted living facilities

Assisted living communities in Illinois are governed by specific laws and regulations to ensure seniors’ safety, well-being, and rights. It’s important for families and potential residents to be aware of these regulations when considering assisted living communities.

Licensing

In Illinois, assisted living facilities must be licensed. These facilities undergo Life Safety Code/physical environment inspections performed by the Illinois Department of Public Health’s (IDPH) Design and Construction Section as part of the licensing process. IDPH also conducts annual unannounced visits to each establishment to verify compliance with licensure requirements and standards. Any additional visits may occur without advance notice.

Although public access to inspection reports and licenses isn’t directly available online, you or your loved one can submit a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain these records.

Staffing regulations

Staffing in Illinois assisted living facilities is regulated to meet residents’ 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs. There must be at least one staff member on duty at all times and one direct care staff member with current certification in CPR for adults.

Additionally, each manager and direct care staff member must complete at least eight hours of ongoing training annually, which includes aspects such as resident dignity, disaster procedures, hygiene and infection control, abuse and neglect prevention, and assisting residents with activities of daily living.

Care plans

Every resident in an assisted living facility in Illinois must have a mutually agreed-upon written service plan based on a physician’s assessment and evaluation. This service plan should be developed by the resident (or their representative), the facility’s manager (or a designee), and a registered nurse (if the resident is receiving nursing services or medication administration).

Service plans must be reviewed annually — or more frequently if the resident’s condition, preferences, or service needs change. These plans must also detail the level of service the resident receives, the health-related services needed, the staff responsible for service plan provisions, any risk being negotiated, and medication requirements.

Why do licensure and inspection reports matter to families?

State regulations — and a community’s track record with inspections and licensing — offer important insights into safety and quality of care in senior living communities.

Download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports to learn what to look for in inspection reports and what questions to ask when touring communities. This resource explains how to use state licensure and inspection information to evaluate a community’s compliance, care standards, and responsiveness to issues.

COVID-19 regulations for Naperville assisted living facilities

While there are currently no COVID-19 mandates for assisted living facilities in Naperville, it’s important to keep up to date with guidelines in individual facilities by contacting them directly. In DuPage County, following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines is recommended to safeguard health and prevent the transmission of disease.

What to expect from assisted living in Naperville

Assisted living in Naperville provides a blend of independence and support. With the peace of a suburban community and the convenience of metropolitan amenities, Naperville is a desirable location for seniors seeking comprehensive care in an engaging setting.

High-quality care and services

Naperville’s assisted living facilities emphasize a high standard of care, reflected in the wide range of available services. All of our partner facilities in Naperville maintain a 24-hour awake staff, ensuring help is always at hand so residents can feel safe and supported at all times. Additionally, various on-site and visiting medical services, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, and speech therapists, are available to meet the diverse health needs of residents. Most assisted living communities in Naperville have on-site nursing services, which allow for immediate response to medical concerns and ongoing monitoring of residents’ health.

For residents requiring assistance with medication, many of our partner facilities offer full medication management. This not only involves safely storing and administering medication, but it also often includes regular consultations to discuss any changes in health that may require medication adjustments.

Holistic wellness

Assisted living in Naperville focuses on holistic wellness, incorporating physical, social, and mental engagement. Facilities typically include fitness centers, arts-and-crafts centers, and a library, promoting physical health and mental stimulation.

Most of our partner facilities also appoint an activity director who ensures an engaging lifestyle by organizing various activities to cater to different interests. Many offer art, cooking, stretching, and chair yoga classes. Residents can also enjoy live musical performances, trivia games, and regular barbecues or picnics to foster a fun, community-oriented environment.

Diversity and inclusion

In Naperville, multilingual communication is not a barrier but a bridge connecting diverse residents. English is universally spoken, but other languages including Spanish, Filipino, Polish, and Italian are also supported in several facilities. This inclusiveness ensures a large segment of the population feels welcome and understood, making the transition to assisted living more comfortable for multilingual seniors.

The celebration of cultures goes beyond the spoken word. Many communities understand that food, festivities, traditions, and personal customs play a critical role in shaping an individual’s identity and strive to incorporate these elements into everyday routines and special events. This could mean honoring dietary preferences by providing vegetarian meals or hosting special events to celebrate a wide range of holidays.

There are also various devotional activities provided on-site at many of our partner assisted living facilities in Naperville, allowing residents of diverse faiths to practice their religious traditions in a respectful and supportive environment.

Aging in place

These services often include scheduled shuttle services to local attractions, shopping centers, medical appointments, and other points of interest. Additionally, 66% of our partner communities offer at-cost transportation. This option is often more flexible, allowing residents to schedule individual rides at their convenience, which can be particularly useful for personal errands or appointments outside of regular shuttle service times.

Public transportation in Naperville is offered primarily through the Metra train system and the Pace bus system. The Metra provides easy access between Aurora and Union Station in Chicago. Pace operates a city loop, offering a practical alternative for those who prefer ground transportation.

Seniors can also turn to Ride DuPage, a transportation program that aims to improve services for seniors and people with disabilities. Implemented by the Naperville/Lisle Area Transportation Partners and Pace, these services offer curb-to-curb transportation at reduced rates.

Senior-specific private transportation options might be more suitable for seniors with special needs. Ride Assist Naperville (RAN) is a private option for seniors 60+ to make it to their medical appointments. Because RAN is operated under Naperville Seniors in Action, a 501(c)(3), no rider is required to pay, though donations are accepted. Volunteer drivers can assist you or your loved one throughout the whole process, from pickup to drop-off.
