Is an assisted living community the same as a nursing home?
No. The Lakes of Paducah is a licensed assisted living community—not a nursing home. While we provide support with daily activities, our environment is residential and home-like, designed to promote independence, choice, and comfort. Medical care is handled through trusted external providers as needed.
Do I have to share a living unit (i.e., apartment) with another client?
No. Every resident has their own private apartment. However, couples or companions may choose to share a unit if they prefer.
Do I have to sign any legal papers?
Yes. Residents or their designated representatives will sign a simple month-to-month lease agreement. This document outlines our services, pricing, and policies to ensure transparency and mutual understanding.
Will you provide me with transportation to my doctor, hairdresser, etc.?
Yes. We provide scheduled transportation for doctor visits, errands, shopping, and off-site activities. Just let our team know your needs, and we’ll coordinate the details.
Can I bring furniture and furnishings for my living unit?
Absolutely. We encourage residents to personalize their space with furniture, artwork, keepsakes, and other meaningful items to make their apartment feel like home.
What determines the cost of living in an assisted living community?
Your monthly rate depends on:
- The size and layout of your apartment
- The level of care and support services needed
- Any optional upgrades or amenities you choose
Our transparent, all-inclusive pricing model comes with no large buy-in fees and a simple, straightforward care plan—making it easy to plan with confidence.
Are the assisted living community employees required to be trained?
Yes. Resident safety and quality care are top priorities. All team members undergo professional training and a full background screening before joining our community.
Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for assisted living services?
Typically, Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for room and board in assisted living. However, certain medical services provided by outside professionals may be covered. Our team can help you explore your options based on your current benefits.
Do long term care insurance policies pay for services in assisted living communities?
Many long-term care insurance policies include benefits for assisted living services. Coverage varies by provider and plan, so we recommend reviewing your policy. Our team is happy to help you understand what your insurance may cover at The Lakes of Paducah.
