FAQ

We have staff members who are qualified to dispense medications, and are trained in CPR and other areas of wellness, with the ability to determine emergency medical needs. We have several physicians and medical providers who work hand-in-hand with our staff on a regular basis, and know our residents personally.

We want to make move-in day as smooth as possible. To help transition into Sensations, we ask that personal items and a week's supply of clothing be brought in prior to your loved one moving in, if at all possible. All personal laundry is done at no additional charge, so no need to bring numerous outfits.

We have a fulltime activities staff that is here every day from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Our activities are designed to help ensure our residents stay engaged at their own level.Please see our Activities Calendar .

Cost is based on a number of factors. Our Long Term Care Residents are charged a monthly room rate, plus a level of care rate that is based on need. Our Respite Care Residents are charged a flat daily care rate, and our Day Care Residents are charged an hourly rate. Early stage Alzheimer's residents often start in Day Care and transition smoothly into Long Term Care. If you would like more information please contact us at (517) 543-8101.

Medicare is a federal program attached to Social Security. It is available to all U.S. citizens 65 years of age or older and it also covers people with certain disabilities. It is available regardless of income. The four-part program includes:

Part A: Hospitalization coverage

Part B: Medical insurance

Part C: Privately purchased supplemental insurance that provides additional services and through which all Medicare services offered by Part A and Part B can be accessed.

Part D:Prescription drug coverage.

Medicare helps pay for short term stays (up to 100 days) Outpatient, OT, PT and Hospice.

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps low-income individuals and families pay for the costs associated with medical and long-term custodial care.
Unlike Medicare, which is available to everyone, Medicaid has strict eligibility requirements. The rules vary by state. The program is designed to help the poor, so many states require Medicaid recipients to have no more than a few thousand dollars in liquid assets to participate in the program

Understanding Alzheimer's disease is the common form of dementia. It is a neurological brain disorder named after a German physician, Alois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines dementia as:

"... [A] word for a group of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain. It is not a specific disease. People with dementia may not be able to think well enough to do normal activities, such as getting dressed or eating (Alzheimer's Symptoms). They may lose their ability to solve problems or control their emotions. Their personalities may change. They may become agitated or see things that are not there."

Though Alzheimer's disease is the most common, many different diseases can cause dementia. There are many forms of dementia. For more information or medical advice please visit your loved ones primary physician.
