The cost to live at Stoney Point Meadows is based on each resident’s Individualized Service Plan (ISP) and room rental fees, which vary by location. For more information, please call us.
Many state and federal programs offer financial assistance for certain senior living expenses. For instance, in the U.S. there is a Federal benefit, called “Aid and Attendance,” which both veterans and their spouses may be eligible to receive financial assistance with assisted living fees. Some Long-Term Insurance Policies may also cover part or all of the costs for assisted living care. We encourage you to speak with your financial advisor to learn more about options to help afford senior living.
Our base rate in assisted living and memory care includes three meals a day, housekeeping, a load of personal laundry and fresh linens and towels each week, an emergency safety alert system, wellness checks every 30 days performed by a nurse, transportation to community programs, and all of our in-house activities.
Care Options
Upon move-in, our nurses and care team will assess your current health and review your medical history to see how we can best meet your needs. They will also discuss your preferences as well as your normal routines to develop a care plan that’s tailor made for you. This plan of care is updated as your needs change.
Stoney Point Meadows offers assisted living and memory care.
Assisted living is best for seniors who need some help with certain everyday tasks such as getting dressed, bathing, mealtime and taking medications and may also have specific care plans to address fall risk, poor nutrition, or other individualized needs. Because assisted living needs are diverse and vary from resident to resident, each person has his or her own, tailored plan of care which details their care needs and preferences.

Stoney Point Meadows’ extensive training programs have been developed to include classroom, online and hands-on training, and employee shadowing and mentoring.
One of the most difficult decisions we may have to make involves memory care. If diagnosed with a condition like Alzheimer’s that is accompanied by memory loss or confusion, an individual may still be able to live independently or with family for some time.

Assisted Living
Considering Assisted Living: Checklist
- When is it time to start thinking about assisted living? What kind of issues would occur that signal it could be time to move to a community that serves older adults?
- What are your needs (or a loved one’s needs)? What types of services would be the best fit?
- Are you or a loved one having trouble cooking meals or driving to medical appointments?
- Is it easy to socialize—or is that prevented by the inability to drive?
- What is the cost of the services at assisted living communities? What is the monthly budget for you or a family member?
Some of our residents in assisted living simply require general oversight and reminders while others need various levels of care and assistance. We can assist our residents with all of their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as showering, dressing, grooming, medication administration and even dining. Each resident has an individualized plan of care that is regularly is updated to meet evolving needs.
Doctors
We believe in a resident and family’s right to choose everything – from a primary care physician to a physical therapist. Residents may keep their current physicians, or our team can help them find physicians near the community. Some doctors make regular visits to our communities, but a resident is not obligated to use them. We can also provide scheduled transportation for our residents who need a ride to a doctor’s appointment.
Decisions about moving to a memory care facility or caring for a loved one can be difficult to navigate. You are not alone in the process – at Stoney Point Meadows, we are here to help. To learn more, please contact Jill at Jill.OldhamRyder@cassialife.org.
