Four Essential Questions to Ask When Choosing a Nursing Home

August 13, 2024

When selecting a nursing home for yourself or a loved one, asking the right questions is crucial. At Cedar Hill , located in the picturesque foothills of Mount Ascutney in historic Windsor, Vermont, we understand the importance of finding the right long-term care facility. Here are four essential questions to consider during the decision-making process:

What Levels of Care Are Provided?

At Cedar Hill, we offer a comprehensive continuum of care that includes independent living, assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing care, memory care, respite care, and end-of-life care. Understanding the levels of care available and how they align with your current and potential future needs is essential when choosing a nursing home. We ensure that residents can receive the necessary care without the need for relocation as their health requirements evolve.

What Amenities and Services are Offered?

Our nursing home in Windsor, VT, believes in creating a nurturing and comfortable environment for our residents. Along with medical care, we provide amenities like pet-friendly accommodations, opportunities to furnish and decorate living spaces, access to religious services, and the option to work with personal physicians or our in-house staff.

What Payment Options Are Available?

When considering a nursing home, understanding the payment structure is crucial. At Cedar Hill, we offer a unique pay-as-you-go model that allows residents to pay for the services they require every month. This approach eliminates the need for a substantial financial deposit, enabling residents to retain their savings for as long as possible. We believe that financial transparency is key to providing peace of mind to our residents and their families.

What Is the Philosophy and Ownership of the Facility?

As a family-owned nursing home founded in 1988 by experienced nurses in long-term care, Cedar Hill maintains a philosophy centered on providing supportive and dignified care for seniors. Understanding the values and ownership structure of a facility can offer insight into the quality of care and the overall environment.
