The Spark™ Program, rooted in Montessori principles and supported by research, is fundamental to delivering transformative care to our residents.

Through innovative therapeutic techniques, interactive touch-screen technology that complements daily life adaptations, and specialized assessments that highlight abilities rather than limitations, we ensure that every resident can fully engage in daily life.

Frontier Senior Living Reviews + Testimonials

“Look no further for your aging loved one. I can finally sleep at night and my dad is safe and happy.”

Belinda R.
Daughter of Resident at Azalea Trails Assisted Living

“We had a wonderful experience with my father. The rooms were clean, there was an outdoor area that memory care residents could go out to at any time (super important for my dad), and they were great about helping us with our insurance company. I would highly recommend it.”

Amy.
Daughter of Resident at Escalante at Coventry

“When we were faced with the need to place my parents in an Assisted Living facility over ten years ago, Ocean Ridge was like a beacon of hope… I can’t say enough good things about this community!”

Expecting the Unexpected: Planning for Long Term Care Needs

Let’s take a look at the various types of long term care services available, and to prepare to pay for it.

The Cost Of Senior Living And Why It Varies

The cost to live in a senior living community ranges widely, but you can expect to pay between $2,000 to $12,000 or more a month.

Who Qualifies for Assisted Living?

Wondering if an assisted living environment is the right choice for you? Determining the ideal time to transition from home can sometimes be challenging. If basic activities of daily living (ADLs) are becoming difficult, or if home support is no longer sufficient, transitioning to an assisted living community can be the ideal solution. Our friendly and compassionate team at Frontier Senior Living is here to provide guidance and support during this important decision.

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) Become Strenuous

Difficulty with activities of daily living examples—such as bathing, dressing, and eating—can indicate a need for long-term care options, like assisted living or memory care. If these tasks are becoming challenging, it may be time to consider nearby assisted living facilities or senior living communities. Whether you’re exploring memory care or senior assisted living, finding the right environment can provide essential support, safety, and quality of life. Discover the differences between these lifestyle options here.

Home Care is No Longer an Option

Assisted living often becomes essential when home care is no longer a viable option. While family support is invaluable, worsening medical conditions or increasing difficulty with daily tasks can make home life challenging. Comparing the benefits and drawbacks of home care versus assisted living can help you make a more informed decision.

Managing Assisted Living Costs

While the cost of assisted living may initially seem high, it is often more cost-effective than expected. At a Frontier community, monthly expenses cover essentials like room, meals, and skilled nursing—costs that would still apply at home but are now bundled for convenience. This approach can be especially affordable for those with long-term care insurance, making assisted living a practical, comprehensive solution for quality care.

Assisted Living Costs and Resources

Choosing the right assisted living option is a significant decision, and understanding the associated costs is part of the process. It’s important to know that the cost of assisted living can vary by location, apartment size, and the level of care required. Costs for assisted living generally include housing, meals, routine housekeeping, basic transportation, classes, and social activities, with potential additional fees for personal care and other services. Each community may use different pricing models, such as all-inclusive rates or a fee-for-service model.

Understanding these costs is essential for families planning for assisted living. At Frontier Senior Living we provide resources to help navigate these expenses if necessary.
