Senior Housing Options FAQ's

Q: What is long-term care? 

A: Long-term care describes the diverse range of options that are available to seniors who are no longer capable of managing the complete range of daily activities. 

Q: What are the different types of living facilities available for seniors? 

A:  Independent living
     Assisted Living
     Rehab & Skilled Nursing
     Adult Day Care 

Q: What is Independent Living? 

A: Independent living is for individuals who are active and do not need assistance with personal care. Heritage Village Retirement Campus and The Woodlands are senior living communities dedicated to providing active adults with a comfortable and enjoyable lifestyle.  Every resident is given ample opportunity to partake in activities tailored to his or her personal interests.  Choosing from single family homes, one or two bedroom duplexes and apartments all residents enjoy freedom from the concerns and daily tasks that may keep them from doing the activities they love most.

Q: What is Assisted Living? 

A: Assisted living facilities are designed for individuals who are no longer able to live independently, but do not need skilled nursing care on a daily basis. These facilities endeavor to provide seniors with the opportunity to enjoy a high quality of life.   Assisted living facilities provide meals in a common dining area, housekeeping services, assistance with medications, recreational services, and assistance with meal preparation, dressing, and bathing. Bergquist Memorial at Heritage Village Retirement Campus and Orchard Grove Residences at The Woodlands offer private rooms with private bathrooms, shared common areas and beautiful outdoor areas.  Both locations offer 24 hour supervision along with many other services.

Q: What is Rehab & Skilled Nursing? 

A: When an individual needs 24-hour nursing care and supervision, a skilled nursing facility is ideally the best option.  A skilled nursing facility is a residence that provides continuous medical service to residents requiring extensive nursing or rehabilitative care by registered nurses, based on treatment prescribed by the resident’s personal or on-site physician.  At Heritage Ministries, traditional long-term care is a thing of the past.  Our rehab and skilled nursing facilities are no longer solely places where individuals spend their last years, but instead, caring, supportive environments that help active adults return to their homes.  Each of these facilities provides skilled nursing and rehabilitative care in environments designed to promote a purposeful lifestyle.  Heritage Park , Heritage Green , and Heritage Village , all house numerous adults working toward this goal. Each rehab & skilled nursing facility is licensed by the New York State Department of Health.  All facilities allow Medicare, Medicaid, and supplemental insurances as payment.
