Our Mission

To guide you and your loved one through the process of selecting an appropriate assisted living facility. In order to fulfill this mission and to help us narrow down your options, an in-person consultation will be completed to gain an understanding of your care needs, affordability, along with what is desired in a facility.

Through this process we answer many questions such as “What is the difference between assisted living, residential care and board & cares?” or “What is long term care?” We can provide a list of commonly asked questions to help bring you clarity.

Marianne was inspired to write The Senior Source to educate the Redding community of not only placement options, but to provide information about many other beneficial resources for seniors and the issues they face in the aging process. Over the years she has learned the importance of creating awareness of local resources in order for seniors to receive the help they need, especially for those who may be new to the area. Marianne was so impressed by the number of local resources available, she wanted to make them more readily accessible to her community. The information provided is intended to create a proactive approach to healthcare, estate planning, housing, advance directives and other matters of aging. Marianne believes the more informed you are, the more prepared you will be.

 What is Assisted Living?

Assisted living communities are home-like settings that offer 24 hour care and support for the daily needs of their residents. They are also referred to as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) or Board & Cares.  They are all licensed through the Department of Social Services and vary in size, services, and cost. Typical services provided by an assisted living community include:

• Care giving services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

• Three meals a day

• Medication monitoring

• Personal care such as dressing and bathing assistance

• Incontinence Management

Assisted Living - Special Tips

All assisted living facilities/residential care facilities are private pay, meaning out-of-pocket cost. Long Term Care Insurance may also cover some of the cost, if assisted living is included in your plan. Medicare, supplemental/private insurance and Medi-Cal (except in certain counties) do not pay for these types of care facilities.
