Medicaid Waiver
We’re excited to have Medicaid Waiver certification for both assisted living and memory care. This is different from traditional Medicaid insurance. It’s a separate program run by the Ohio Department of Medicaid to help older adults afford the senior living care they need.
If you or your loved one meets the income and asset requirements, it can make living at our community more affordable for your unique financial situation. We’re happy to answer your questions about Medicaid Waiver and walk you step-by-step through the process.
FAQs about Assisted Living
Can I bring my pets?
Absolutely! We know furry friends are part of the family, and we love welcoming them into the community. Browning Masonic Community even has a pet committee! Our general rule of thumb is that a resident must be able to take care of the pet themselves or have someone who helps them take care of it, like a dog walker. If you have specific questions about our pet policy, we’re happy to answer them.
What care is included?
Assisted living is all about providing support with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). ADLs include bathing, using the bathroom, getting dressed, eating, and transferring. IADLs include managing medication, preparing meals, paying bills, and cleaning. In assisted living, residents can receive assistance with some or all of these daily activities depending on their individual needs.
What’s included in the cost?
Our monthly fee covers the cost of the private apartment, all utilities including phone and cable TV, housekeeping, laundry, meals, and care provided by a nurse or nursing assistant. The other services we offer, such as for hearing aids, glasses, dental care, and foot care are available to residents but are not included in the monthly fee. Those services can frequently be covered by health insurance. The beauty salon is also not included in the monthly fee, but we can connect you with our stylist so you can learn more about the services they provide, their costs, and scheduling appointments for your loved one.
Do I have to sign a long-term lease or contract?
We know you’ll love living here, but we understand life happens and sometimes things change. We want you to have the freedom and flexibility to do what’s best for you and your family, so we just require a 30-day notice if you need to move.
What are your payment options?
Most of our residents are private pay. If you have questions about Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or long-term care insurance, give us a call. We can explain our pricing more in-depth and connect you with people and resources to answer your questions.
Do you accept Medicaid Waiver?
Browning Masonic Community accepts Medicaid Waiver in assisted living. If you or your loved one meets eligibility requirements, the Medicaid Waiver can make assisted living more affordable. Give us a call if you want to learn more about Medicaid Waiver requirements or the approval process.
Do I have to be Masonic?
No, Browning Masonic Community is open to the public regardless of being Masonic or not. During the application process, we’ll ask about any Masonic affiliations, but we don’t use that information to decide if you’re eligible to live here.
