Colonial Harbor was clean. The 1-bedroom apartment was fine and clean. The staff who showed us around was very helpful. The dining area was clean, and the food was great. They had an activities calendar, a fitness room, a rehab, and a library.

I like Colonial Harbor, but it's over in York County. The lady I know has a very nice room, and the dining area looked good, but it's too far from me. They have a lot of activities, and the residents were very nice. It was decorated nicely and kept clean.

Colonial Harbor was very nice. The person who showed us around was very nice too. My father and I were very impressed. It was clean. The people were interacting with one another. We really liked the small apartments. We felt very positive about the place. They always clean the rooms, and they're all independent living. They said they have different kinds of activities that go on regularly, like movies and bingo. I liked the fact that they're trying to keep the people involved. They talked about somebody who was missing at lunch, and they went to check on her; I really liked that part. The staff was very good. He answered all of our questions, and he was very helpful. I liked this place. You can see most of the rooms from downstairs so that they can keep tabs on people, which is what my parents really need at this point.

Everything was good at Colonial Harbor including the outside of the building. When I walked to the door, I was greeted. The dining room was over toward to the right and I could see people eating. We've come right in the middle of their meal, but that didn't seem to bother anyone. Mark, the salesman, was awesome. He even called me to wish me Happy Easter. I liked him and the facility a lot. They had three meals a day prepared by a chef. I liked the rooms. The backrooms looked over the woods, and I'm a nature freak. The front rooms looked out over the Fort Eustis Boulevard, which was not heavily trafficked.

We liked Colonial Harbor so much, we didn't go anywhere else. It is $2,400 a month, which, I think, is pretty affordable. The staff member we met was quite nice. The dining area was very nice and a restaurant-style setting with orders sent right to the kitchen. It seemed like the security was very good. It was in a nice area, very clean, and updated. The rooms were nice. Everything about it was good. They had a chapel and play cards and different games.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Yorktown

Medicaid in Virginia

Medicaid is a nationwide program offering services to low-income individuals, families and the elderly. The program covers a broad spectrum of services, such as doctor visits, home health care and nursing home care. In Virginia, Medicaid is administered through the Department of Medical Assistance Services, and eligibility for the program is determined by the Department of Social Services.

Seniors applying for Medicaid must meet the following requirements:

Reside in Virginia
U.S. citizens or qualifying aliens
Be age 65 or older
Single with an income of no more than $2,313 a month and $2,000 or less in countable assets
Couples with an income equal to or less than $4,626 a month and $4,000 or less in countable assets

Medicaid considers income from sources that include cash, SSI and pensions. Countable assets include all sources of revenue or potential revenue, such as cash, investments, bank accounts and real estate other than the occupant’s home. Exempt assets include various items, such as jewelry, furniture and a principal residence valued at $585,000 or less. See American Council on Aging’s Virginia Medicaid Income and Asset Limits for more detailed information.

Individuals who require elder care but have income and assets that exceed the allowed amounts, may be eligible for the Medically Needy Pathway Program. It allows “spending down” on health-related costs in order to qualify for full Medicaid coverage. To apply for Medicaid, visit Cover VA or call 855-242-8282.

EDCD Waivers

For seniors who meet nursing facility eligibility criteria, the Elderly or Disabled with Consumer Direction Waiver provides various services, including adult day care, respite care, medication monitoring and personal care. Individuals must have medical needs and require assistance with daily living activities to qualify. To learn more information or apply, contact Virginia Department of Social Services or your local Williamsburg office at (757) 220-6161.

LTSS

Long term services and supports (LTSS) are plans that help seniors living within their homes or assisted living facilities. They are available through Virginia’s Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus. If a senior is enrolled in the EDCD waiver, CCC Plus will cover any non-waiver services. These include assistive technology, environmental modifications and assistance for those moving from a nursing facility back to the local community. For more information, call (844) 374-9159

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Assisted Living Bridge Loans

For seniors who need financial assistance to cover the costs of transitioning to assisted living, a bridge loan through Elderlife Financial Services may be beneficial. These loans, which have terms up to 12 months, can provide a quick, short term option, helping individuals move into assisted living and cover rent fees while waiting for benefits or the sale of a home. A fast application process and versatile lending options (lump sum or line of credit) make the bridge loan a viable coverage option. Contact Elderlife Financial for more information about assisted living bridge loans at (888) 228-4500.
