What Is All-Inclusive Senior Living in Cincinnati?

All-inclusive senior living is a way for people over 55 to live healthy, independent lives while receiving the community and support they need to succeed and feel fulfilled. In Cincinnati, the Silverfern community is a go-to example of all-inclusive senior living, and offers amenities such as:

Who Needs Independent Senior Living?

Anyone over the age of 55 may be looking for ways to stay independent while also becoming a part of a community. Why not join one with like-minded people who are also interested in their independence? Most people who need independent senior living are looking to downsize, get some support, and ultimately enjoy their favorite activities and feel fulfilled and successful.

Who Needs Assisted Senior Living?

Assisted living is the next step up from independent living. People who need assisted living may need support with one or more activities of daily living (ADLs). For example, they may need help with mobility, bathing and grooming, or meal preparation. There are many key signs to look for to decide if your loved one needs assisted living, but at Silverfern, we can help our community members transition from independent living to assisted living while keeping their community intact.

When Is It Time To Consider Senior Living?

While there isn’t any one indicator that it’s time to consider senior living, some indicators include decreased ability to maintain oneself or their home, feelings of loneliness or isolation, or a need for additional support beyond what their current support network or family can provide. As part of the considerations, it’s also important to determine whether independent living or assisted living is the best option for you or your loved one.

How Do I Afford Senior Living for Myself or My Loved Ones?

We understand that financial concerns are a common barrier to finding the community and support your or your loved one needs, and we want to ease that transition as much as possible. Some of the ways people afford senior living in Cincinnati, Ohio, include:

  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Physical Assets
  • Private Savings
  • Public Assistance
  • Veterans Benefits
  • A combination of the above

We also offer various discounts for new residents that you can take advantage of to keep our community affordable.
