Cost and ways to pay
Augusta Pines doesn’t publish prices. Each resident’s cost depends on their care, and the main factors are:
- Level of care. Avanti has four levels of care. More daily help generally means a higher monthly cost.
- Assisted living or memory care. Memory care generally costs more than assisted living, since it involves more support.
- Floor plan. Different apartments are priced differently.
Before you decide, ask what the monthly rate includes and what’s billed separately. It’s also fair to ask whether there’s a move-in fee and how care needs are reassessed over time.
Common ways families pay:
- Personal resources: savings, retirement income or the sale of a home.
- VA Aid and Attendance: a monthly amount added to a VA pension for qualified veterans and surviving spouses who need another person’s help with daily activities like bathing, feeding and dressing.
- Long-term care insurance: most policies begin paying when someone needs help with two or more of six activities of daily living, or has a cognitive impairment, usually after an elimination period. Ask the insurer what the policy covers.
- Medicare does not pay for long-term care.
