Almond Heights Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): 

Q: What is “senior living”? How is it different than a nursing home?

A: Senior living communities (like Almond Heights) are similar to nursing homes in many ways. Both communities offer long-term care for older adults who need help. Senior living communities specialize in non-medical personal care (like assistance with a person’s activities of daily living) and nursing homes primarily offer health care services. Nursing homes staff more registered nurses than an assisted living community or memory care unit and they are more technologically equipped to provide skilled nursing care. 

Assisted living communities do not offer skilled nursing services, like catheter care or IV administration. Instead, they provide a safe, comfortable place for older adults to retire and enjoy luxury living as they receive personal care.  

Q: How do I know if Almond Heights can meet my care needs (or my family member’s)? 

A: Each Almond Heights applicant works with a care adviser to do a pre-admission assessment before they move in. Pre-admission assessments help the staff understand each applicant’s care needs better, helping them determine if the residence’s long term care programs are the right fit. If a pre-admission assessment indicates that Almond Heights’ memory care unit or assisted living program are not suitable for an applicant’s need, the care adviser can discuss alternative options with them to receive higher level care. 

Q: Is Almond Heights Senior Living suitable for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease? 

A: Living with Alzheimer’s disease can be challenging for both the individual and their families. Finding an exceptional Alzheimer’s care community can make an important difference in a person’s life, giving them a second chance at retirement. Almond Heights is well-equipped to help residents with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and short-term memory loss, thanks to their premier memory care retirement residence. The community is designed specifically for people who need Alzheimer’s care and the staff are experienced treating memory loss. 

Alzheimer’s care residents receive assistance with their daily living activities as they would in the assisted living program. The memory care community’s caregivers tailor their treatments around memory loss, creating a nurturing environment for residents.  

Q: Does Almond Heights offer short-term care programs?

A:  Absolutely! In addition to Almond Heights’ long-term assisted living, independent living, and memory care services, older adults from throughout Orangevale are welcome to their respite care programs and adult day care services. Respite care and adult day care are exceptional alternatives to long-term care for older adults who receive care at-home.

Short-term residents are welcome to the same amenities as long-term community members and receive outstanding, compassionate care during their stay.

Some health care providers do not pay for non-medical care, but each plan is different. Medicaid recipients who receive a home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver may use their coverage to pay for Almond Heights, but interested applicants should speak with their case worker to learn more.
