Assisted Living Costs in Mobile

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The costs associated with senior care depend on both the location and the level of care offered. In Mobile, nursing home care is nearly twice the cost of assisted living or homemaker services. Assisted living is priced similarly to homemaker services — $100 more per month — and $200 less per month than home health aides. These home health care services do not include other expenses associated with living in your own home, such as rent, utilities, food and maintenance. These&nbsp;additional costs are usually included in assisted living care.

Jointly funded by the national and state governments, Medicaid offers free or low-cost health insurance to certain groups of low-income Americans. Providing a broad spectrum of health coverage, including nursing home care and hospital visits, Medicaid has specific income and asset requirements, which are determined by <a href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alabama Medicaid</a>. In Alabama, two main pathways&nbsp;exist for seniors who meet the financial requirements: <a href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/3.0_Apply/3.2_Qualifying/3.2.4_Medicaid_Nursing_Home.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/3.0_Apply/3.2_Qualifying/3.2.4_Medicaid_Nursing_Home.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Institutional Medicaid</a> and the <a href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/6.0_LTC_Waivers/6.1_HCBS_Waivers/6.1.2_Elderly_Disabled_Waiver.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/6.0_LTC_Waivers/6.1_HCBS_Waivers/6.1.2_Elderly_Disabled_Waiver.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderly and Disabled waiver</a>. Institutional Medicaid is for those in nursing homes and hospitals, and the ED waiver is for seniors who require a nursing level of care but who wish to remain in their homes and communities.&nbsp; Low-income seniors with monthly incomes of $2,250 and resources of $2,000 or less are eligible for Medicaid. Married couples who are both applying are allowed an income of $4,626 and resources of $4,000. Income that Medicaid applicants receive from any source is counted, including wages, pension payments, Social Security income, Social Security Disability income and IRA withdrawals. Resources are counted similarly; some examples are mortgages, cash surrender&nbsp;value of life insurance over $5,000, stocks and bonds, bank accounts, and mineral and timber rights. Some assets are excluded, including personal effects, burial funds up to $5,000, one automobile if used by a household member and a primary residence that <a href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/documents/3.0_Apply/3.2_Qualifying_Medicaid/3.2.5_Medicaid_for_Elderly_Disabled/3.2.5_Resource_Limits_Revised_2-6-18.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/documents/3.0_Apply/3.2_Qualifying_Medicaid/3.2.5_Medicaid_for_Elderly_Disabled/3.2.5_Resource_Limits_Revised_2-6-18.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">meets specific conditions</a>.&nbsp;To learn more or to apply for Alabama’s Institutional Medicaid, you can <a href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/3.0_Apply/3.2_Qualifying/3.2.4_Medicaid_Nursing_Home.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/3.0_Apply/3.2_Qualifying/3.2.4_Medicaid_Nursing_Home.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">connect online</a> or call (800) 362-1504.

Operated by the <a href="http://adss.alabama.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://adss.alabama.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alabama Department of Senior Services</a>, the ED waiver has income and resource requirements similar to Medicaid (individuals may have incomes up to $2,313 and assets at $2,000 or less). Applicants must also require a nursing facility level of care to qualify. In addition to all basic Medicaid services, those served by the ED waiver are eligible for homemaker services, adult companion services, personal care and home-delivered meals. Enrollment is limited, and applicants may experience a waiting period before coverage begins. To learn more about the ED waiver, call (800) 362-1504, <a href="http://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/10.0_Contact/10.2_Applicant_Contacts.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/10.0_Contact/10.2_Applicant_Contacts.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">download the application</a>&nbsp;or contact the Mobile District Office at (866) 371-4078. &nbsp;&nbsp; Alabama Community Transition Waiver The ACT waiver serves individuals currently living in a nursing care facility who wish to return to their homes or communities. Income and asset requirements are the same as for the ED waiver ($2,313 for income and $2,000 for assets), and seniors must require a nursing facility level of care. This waiver includes an option that allows recipients to be more involved in controlling and choosing their long-term supports and services. In addition to the services offered by the ED waiver, transitional services, medical equipment and home modifications are offered to those served by the ACT waiver.

LYNWOOD NURSING HOME

Alabama

Do not walk but run from this place. My father was here for several months and it was horrible. The only reason he was here is at the time this was the only place in Mobile that had any available beds for rehab. That should tell you something.  Administration was beyond uncaring.  I live in Birmingham and would come down every other week to see dad. His insurance ran out for rehab and we were in the process of getting him on Medicaid and planned on paying for the first month of care out of pocket. When we told them that I was told I needed to pay by the end of the week (nothing was late and all bills had been paid, we had a $0 balance due). No problem, I will be there Friday. The administrator then proceeded to tell me if I was not there by Friday he would put him in an ambulance and drop him off at my door. I tried to explain to him I was in Birmingham and he said he did not care and has delivered “them” as far away as Texas like this was a badge of honor.
Another red flag was dealing with the paperwork to get him switched to Medicaid. I was told he did not qualify because of several things which made no sense to me. I contacted Medicaid and learned yes he did qualify. These were not weird things. They had to do with the sale of his house and a car in his name. Very common things. They had very little knowledge or comprehension of Medicaid.
The most horrible and unforgivable thing they did was not inform us when dad was dying.  My father died around noon. The nurse that called to inform me that they were unable to wake him when they checked on him that morning. He laid there dying for four plus hours without any notification. I could have been there in that amount of time. He has grandchildren in Mobile who could have been there in 30 minutes. We were denied the opportunity to be there to hold his hand, pray over him and say our good byes. I will never forget that.
Please save yourself and your loved ones a lot of heartache and go somewhere else!
