We chose Atria Summit Ridge because it is close to family. The place is very airy, clean, and there's a good vibe to the place. The staff was knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to. My parents got a studio for 2 people; it's very clean and new-looking. There's outside gardening, movie theater, games, and activities, salon and they had a courtyard. I've only had meetings with one person but she was very good.

I love this place! Everyone there is so kind! And the building is beautiful! They just redid quite a bit of the building and I’m loving it!

My friend was at Atria Summit Ridge. Their housekeeping and pill management were a little lackadaisical. He had an incident where he ended up in the hospital and when he got out of the hospital, Atria said that he would need extra medical care, so they charged him an extra $300 to $900. According to my friend, they didn't let him know that they were charging him more. He got upset and just left the facility. His apartment wasn't kept as clean as where he is currently. They had people who would play music, and they had movies. They did a great job with the activities. He was in independent living with medicine management. They didn't have an exercise room or an exercise area. All they had available was for the residents to walk around the hallways.

I liked Atria Summit Ridge, but the room was just a studio apartment. Nevertheless, I got a very good impression of the place. Some very nice people showed me around. It was very clean and organized. The staff members were very polite and nice. I just didn't like the studio apartment with the bed and the living room all in one room.

Sky Peaks was really nice. The tour guide was new so he didn't know everything about the place. It was clean, but seemed older, and the outside seemed older than the inside. When we got there we didn't really see many people around. The room we saw there wasn't as nice as the ones in the other community we, but it was adequate. When we set up the tour we were supposed to eat there, but the staff at Sky Peaks didn't know that. We ended up eating there, but we did not like the food. They had three items on their lunch menu and nothing was seasoned. We had a meatloaf sandwich that was just white bread and meatloaf; no condiments whatsoever. The other meal was fettuccine alfredo that looked like it wasn't seasoned at all. When I observed the people there, no one was talking to each other, and they didn't look happy.

I wouldn't put anybody in Park Place Assisted Living. It's very worn down. There was duct tape holding the carpet together in spots. I was really disappointed that I was even sent there and offered that as a referral. The rooms were very plain. There were a lot of people with dementia there. The staff was very friendly. It looked like it was built back in the 1960s or 1970s and hadn't been updated.

Park Place Assisted Living and the tour were very nice. The price was a little on the high side, but they had very nice accommodations and nice views. I was looking at a nice and large studio. The staff member who gave me the tour was very informative and answered all my questions.

My dad has been staying at Atria Summit Ridge for a couple of months now. It's very nice, and the food is excellent. The staff is very friendly. We have absolutely no complaints. They have numerous activities like bingo, shopping, musicians in, games, shuffleboards and they have an individual who organizes the activities. The apartments look like your average big-ish hotel room, but my dad has a studio. They had one-bedroom units with a bedroom off of a living room. We're also perfectly happy with the value my dad is getting.

Everybody at Park Place Assisted Living was really nice. Everybody treated us wonderfully. It had quite a few vacancies. They were very generous when talking with us, but it didn't fit my dad's needs. It was a pretty small place and did not have as many activities as the other places.

Care Cost Comparison
The type of care required plays a major role in determining the average monthly cost of care. In Reno, the cost of nursing home care is nearly double that of assisted living. When compared with home health care, assisted living is less expensive as well. This is especially true when taking into account the additional costs associated with remaining in the home, such as rent and general upkeep, which are typically included in the cost of assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Reno
Medicaid in Nevada
The Medicaid Assisted Living Waiver Program offers financial assistance to seniors in Reno and throughout Nevada when they reside in an approved assisted living facility. The program was created to prevent seniors from becoming further institutionalized when they require a nursing level of care and to reduce the load on the state’s nursing care homes. It provides seniors with a variety of services including case management, daily nurse visits, and additional supportive services.
Seniors who wish to participate in the program must be 65 years of age or older and require a nursing level of care. They must also reside in an approved assisted living facility that receives Nevada’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. Financial requirements stipulate that seniors may not have a monthly income exceeding $1,396 to be eligible for this waiver. To apply, seniors must contact their local Aging and Disability Services office.
Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living
Nevada Home and Community-Based Waiver
The Nevada Home and Community-Based Waiver (HCBW) is a non-Medicaid program that’s provided by the state. It provides nonmedical services to seniors who require additional support to continue living in their home or in an assisted living facility. Services provided under this waiver include personal care and homemaker assistance, adult companion services, respite care and transportation services.
To be eligible for the HCBW, seniors must be aged 65 or older and be at risk of becoming further institutionalized if they don’t receive additional assistance. Financial requirements of this program are subject to change regularly, and as such, it’s requested that seniors who are interested in applying for the program contact their local Aging and Disability Services office to discuss.
Nevada Community Options Program for the Elderly
Similar to the HCBW, the Nevada Community Options Program for the Elderly (COPE) is in place to provide additional nonmedical support to seniors who require a nursing level of care yet wish to continue living in their home or in an assisted living facility. Services included in this program depend on the level of care the senior requires.
To be eligible for COPE, seniors must be 65 years of age and require a nursing level of care. Financial eligibility requirements change frequently and as such, seniors should contact their local Aging and Disability Services office for up-to-date information.
Optional State Supplement
While government assistance programs such as Medicaid provide assistance with the cost of care in assisted living facilities, they don’t typically cover room and board expenses. Seniors who require assistance with these costs can apply for Nevada’s Optional State Supplement(OSS), which can provide seniors with cash to pay for such expenses.
The benefit is calculated based on the senior’s needs and current income. Applicants must be currently receiving federal Supplemental Security Income payments and reside in a facility that is licensed for domiciliary care. To apply, seniors can contact the U.S. Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Older adults who wish to be prepared for the possibility of long-term care in their future can purchase a long-term care insurance policy, which covers the cost of residing in an assisted living facility or nursing care home. The cost of this insurance varies drastically based on the provider, coverage and the age and health of the policyholder, as does eligibility and deductible.
Elderlife Bridge Loan
Elderlife Financial Services provides seniors who cannot receive Medicaid or other government financial assistance with another option. Elderlife bridge loans pay the cost of assisted living by issuing funds on the senior’s behalf directly to the facility where they reside. Seniors are required to pay the loan back in full by making monthly installments; however, interest rates are low and terms are flexible.
Eligibility is dependent on credit history and income, but seniors who are unable to obtain approval on their own may have up to six cosigners apply with them, which can increase the chances of approval.
