Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are Arbor Terrace of Decatur residents allowed to have pets on-campus?

While pets can play an important role in our lives, Arbor Terrace of Decatur does not allow animals in their assisted living and memory care apartments. Families may use the link above to make an inquiry about the community’s pet policy or ask questions about their reasonable accommodations for service animals. 

Q: Will Medicare help me pay for assisted living at Arbor Terrace of Decatur?

Unfortunately, Medicare does not help families pay for assisted living. The Medicare program is designed to help families pay for health care expenses as they age (or after they incur a disability), and assisted living does not provide skilled health care or medical intervention. As such, assisted living does not qualify for Medicare financing. 

Paying for senior living can feel intimidating, but there are ways to make it fit within any budget. Assisted living is often more affordable than families think and there are often flexible ways to pay.

Q: Are residents allowed to bring their own furniture to Arbor Terrace of Decatur?

Yes! Apartments for long-term residents are unfurnished when residents move in, giving them the freedom to decorate as they please. However, the community suggests families measure their furniture and their new apartment before move-in day so they can decide which pieces to bring. In many cases, assisted living and memory care apartments are smaller than the homes residents move from, making it important to choose only the furniture that will fit.
