Celebrating Good Value

Pathway Offers Seniors and Their Families Peace of Mind in These Financially Uncertain Times

The high cost and undesirable setting of a nursing home, the confusing pricing structure of most assisted living providers, and the unreliability and expense of private home health care staff can be a financial and emotional drain on seniors and their families alike. Fortunately, thanks to a decade-old Illinois-funded option called Supportive Living, seniors and their families can finally have peace of mind.

Supportive Living is vastly improving the outlook for many seniors’ golden years. Like assisted living, Supportive Living offers three daily meals, medication management, weekly housekeeping and laundry, scheduled activities and trips, routine maintenance, most utilities, and personal assistance with the activities of daily life such as bathing, dressing, grooming and other supportive services. But the most important and often overlooked benefit is the financial peace of mind offered.

Chicago-based Pathway Senior Living is a leading provider of supportive living, also known as affordable assisted living. As a founder of the supportive living program more than a decade ago, Pathway now serves over 1,000 seniors in 10 supportive living communities throughout Chicago and its suburbs. An all-inclusive rate covers all services (except phone and cable). Such predictable pricing enables sound financial planning for residents and their families. No entrance fees or upfront fees help reduce the barrier to entry. And it only gets better.

Qualified residents who may be or may become low on funds have the ability to apply for the community’s financial assistance program – not available in most other assisted living settings. This unique benefit enables residents to remain at the community and maintain their independence and dignity without having to move in with family or placed in a semi-private room in a nursing home. Financial and medical screening is required for residency, but once qualified, residents can rest assured knowing that future care needs which can safely be provided in a Supportive Living setting will be delivered regardless of their ability to pay privately. Qualified residents turn over their income and keep $90 per month in spending money for incidental expenses, and the state pays the balance of their care costs.
