Assisted Living CBRF v. RCAC

February 1, 2024
When moving into a RCAC, a resident cannot have their POA activated.  They are only allowed to receive up to 28 hours of care per week.  When it comes to meals, they can be charged a la carte.  In addition, as a resident ages in place and they start to have Alzheimer's related Dementia, they would have to move.

With a CBRF, BrightStar Senior Living, a loved one is allowed to age place.  The community nurse will assess all residents and develop an Individualized Service Plan.  They can receive up to 3 hours of skilled nursing care per week.  A resident can move-in to the community regardless of if the POA is activated or not.  If a resident develops Alzheimer's, a CBRF Assisted Living/Memory community often would be able to meet their needs and not have to move.  In addition, a CBRF community is more State regulated.  Reach out to your local communities, BrightStar Senior Living of Madison & Waunakee, to learn more.
