How people pay for independent living in Lexington

While independent living communities are created with seniors in mind, the rent costs of independent living are not covered by long-term care insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. This means seniors must pay for their own independent living rent fees. Fortunately, there are several public assistance programs that can help cover the costs of medical or other needs. Medicare, Medicaid and long-term care insurance can be used to help with medical costs in an independent living facility, should a senior require in-home medical care.

Here you will learn more about resources available to help you navigate private pay, housing assistance, VA benefits, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Private pay methods

Many seniors will use private funds to pay for their independent living stay. Sources of income can include savings, investments, pensions, and Social Security benefits, as well as the following:

VA benefits
14534

Number of veterans who live in Lexington

About 47% of Lexington veterans are 65+

For veterans planning to move to an independent living community in Lexington, VA benefits can help cover costs. The following information includes which benefits could be available to you and where to go for help if you have questions.

The U.S. The Department of Veterans Affairs (or the VA) will not cover the cost of an independent living stay but veterans can use their VA Pension toward housing and health-related costs. The Aid and Attendance benefit is an additional option for veteran seniors who need help with activities of daily living, are in a nursing home or bedfast, or have poor eyesight.

Veterans must first make sure they are eligible for certain benefits and determining if they qualify can be complicated. For help navigating the process, veteran seniors should speak to a veterans services officer who can help explain the benefits and explore eligibility. You may be eligible for more benefits than you think, so it is worth reaching out to a veterans services officer to learn more. You can find these accredited representatives at veterans services organizations (VSOs) or the nearest VA office.

Medicaid

Medicaid will not cover the cost of an independent living stay. However, if a senior medically requires in-home health care at an independent living facility, Medicaid could cover it through the Home and Community Based (HCB) waiver. The purpose of the HCB waiver is to help individuals with physical disabilities live on their own, so it can help with home-delivered meals, minor home adaptation, and adult day health care.

Seniors with an intellectual or developmental disability may be eligible for the Supports for Community Living Waiver (SCL), which provides a number of services, including residential support and vehicle adaptation, to help individuals live independently.

Seniors must qualify for Medicaid before they are eligible for a waiver. You can apply for Medicaid online at Kentucky’s benefits portal, Kynect Benefits, by calling the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) office, or by visiting the office in person.

Applying for Medicaid benefits can be difficult but there are resources in Lexington that can help, such as a Kynector, a local representative who can offer guidance on benefits. Another option is to appoint an authorized representative who can apply for Medicaid benefits on your behalf. This representative could be a family member, friend, or attorney.

Another resource is the Office of the Ombudsman and Administrative Review (OOAR), which is part of the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Located in Frankfurt, representatives at the OOAR can provide guidance on applying for benefits. You can also contact the  Bluegrass Area Agency on Aging & Independent Living for advice.

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people at least age 65. Similar to Medicaid, Medicare cannot be used to pay for an independent living stay but it can help with costs for seniors who require in-home, short-term medical care.

If you are hoping to use Medicare to help offset medical costs, there are several options and resources in Kentucky. One option is the Medicare Savings Program, a Medicare initiative through state-run Medicaid offices. The program will help cover the costs of two parts of Medicare, Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). For help with finding prescription drug savings, the Kentucky Prescription Assistance Program (KPAP) is available to connect people to resources.

Seniors and people with disabilities can also use the Kentucky State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), a free service that offers advice to individuals to ensure they know their rights to Medicare and what benefits they are eligible for.

Another resource is the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), a program to help seniors live independently in their own homes. PACE provides a number of services such as preventative care, dentistry, and medication management. If you qualify, all services can be covered by Medicaid and Medicare.

Navigating Medicare benefits can be tricky so don’t be afraid to ask for help. The Lexington Social Security Administration office is the best place to go to learn about applying for Medicare. The local ombudsman and The Bluegrass Area Agency on Aging & Independent Living (BGAAAIL) can also provide advice and help you determine what benefits you’re eligible for.

Understand Kentucky laws and regulations for independent living communities

In Lexington, standalone independent living communities are treated like regular housing and are therefore subject to standard housing laws and regulations. However, this changes if an independent living facility is combined with a care facility, such as assisted living or memory care.

In Lexington, nearly 75% of our partner independent living options are part of wider assisted living and/or memory care facilities, which means they need to be licensed and regularly inspected.

Independent living facilities that include assisted living and/or memory care must be certified or licensed. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services certifies assisted living communities, which do not provide health care. The Kentucky Department for Aging and Independent Living’s Office of Inspector General licenses personal care homes as long-term care facilities, and they do provide health care. Facilities are regularly inspected by the Division of Health Care. You can view inspection reports for long-term care facilities on the Division of Health Care’s website here.

For independent living communities that are not combined with care facilities, they must follow regular housing laws and regulations. The main laws to be aware of are:

  • Fair Housing Act (FHA) – When finding tenants for any rental, landlords cannot discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, nationality, etc.
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – All apartments and homes must be ADA compliant, which means certain areas, like lobbies and a number of units, must be accessible for people with disabilities.
  • Assistance animals – The FHA and ADA also dictate that tenants must be able to have an assistance animal if their disabilities require it.

In Lexington, all houses and apartments must also be compliant with the International Property Maintenance Code and the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Code of Ordinance to ensure homes are safe. The Division of Code Enforcement carries out rental inspections which can be found through the Citizen Portal.

Properties that participate in the Section 8 housing program are subject to additional regulations, such as meeting specific eligibility requirements, using approved lease agreements, and taking part in regular inspections. Potential tenants can read more about their rights and responsibilities in this Kentucky rental guide.

COVID-19 regulations for Lexington independent living communities

While there are no COVID-19 mandates in place in Lexington, the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department encourages all high-risk residents to take precautions against COVID-19. High risk applies to individuals over 60 and residents with chronic health conditions.

See COVID-19 information below from the Kentucky Department of Health (KDPH). Some independent living communities have their own COVID-19 guidelines so seniors should check with their complex for more information.

Vaccinations.
All Kentucky residents are encouraged to stay up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters.

Masking.
There is no mask mandate but masks are recommended for high-risk individuals or following an exposure.

Quarantining.
Because they are over 60 and therefore high-risk, seniors are encouraged to stay home when they can, especially if they are sick or have tested positive for COVID-19.

Social distancing.
Avoiding crowds and close contact is recommended for high-risk individuals.

Types of independent living in Lexington

Lexington offers a variety of options for independent living, from standalone independent living facilities to modern combinations with assisted living and memory care all in one. Here you’ll find some of the reasons to consider an independent living community in Lexington.

The majority of independent living options offer additional care options.

One of the best features of independent living in Lexington is the number of our partner communities combined with assisted living and memory care. Five of the seven independent living communities we partner with are also assisted living and memory care communities. The offering gives seniors the independence and community they want but also provides peace of mind should they need additional care in the future.

There are also standalone independent living options in Lexington if preferred, so whatever facility you’re looking for, Lexington can meet your needs.

All you need in one place

All of our partner independent living options in Lexington offer a fitness center and beauty salon, and the majority of them offer a bar, billiards lounge, and/or a cafe right on site. For seniors who need to run errands off-site but can’t drive or don’t have their own transportation, all of our partner facilities also offer complimentary transportation so seniors don’t have to worry about the stress of maintaining a car or driving.

A real sense of community

Finding a place with a strong sense of community is always popular with seniors and Lexington has plenty to offer. Read reviews and you’ll see seniors love the feeling of family in our partner independent living facilities, thanks to a caring staff and on-site activities that bring seniors together.

The Lexington Senior Center also offers a variety of classes, day trips, and drop-in activities, so seniors in Lexington always have a place to go and meet new people or spend time with old friends.

Transportation for seniors in Lexington

For seniors in our partner independent living facilities, complimentary transportation is available for everyone. There are a few other options for seniors who are unable to drive or prefer not to. One option is Independent Transportation Network (called iTNBluegrass), a nonprofit transportation system designed specifically for the aging population and the visually impaired. Membership is required and riders can book journeys using a prepaid account, similar to a taxi or ride-sharing service.

Another option is Lextran, the city’s public transit system. With buses running every 30 minutes, Lextran offers a discounted fare of 50 cents for veterans, Medicare cardholders, people with disabilities, and people 62 or older. Seniors with disabilities can also use Wheels, a partnership between Lextran and the Bluegrass Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. The service is specifically for people with disabilities so an application is required to ensure all riders meet eligibility.

Walk Score, a service that rates the walkability of cities, gives Lexington a walk score of 34 out of 100, which means residents need a car to do most errands.[08] It is also important to leave some extra time for heavy traffic during peak times.

One section of Lexington that’s very walkable, however, is the city’s downtown. On a nice day, you can walk across the whole downtown in less than 30 minutes. The area is home to restaurants, shops, and art galleries so there’s always something to do if you want to take a break.[08]
