Making an Assisted Living Community More Affordable

MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Jordan Creek is proud to provide the finest assisted living Des Moines and the surrounding area has to offer.  Our beautiful community has 56 private assisted living suites as well as 29 secure suites devoted to the care of those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases. 

For residents in assisted living, your monthly fee is based on the size of the suite, location within the building and view, and your level of care (we offer 5 levels) as determined by a thorough assessment with our Wellness Director.  The fee for memory care residents is all-inclusive (suite and care) and is one packaged price.   

To help families find ways to make assisted living more affordable, we provide information on a variety of innovative financial options and other often under-used benefits.  One such example is to make veterans aware of the “Aid & Attendance” pension benefit.  We refer them to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs where they can find out if they qualify.   

Another resource to help pay for assisted living is long-term care insurance.  To see what expenses, and/or up to what amounts, will be covered under your policy, review your Benefits Summary section to learn about the specifics of coverage, daily benefit, policy limit, and elimination period.   

Many people also overlook life insurance policies as a source for funds.  However in some cases, whole life and universal life policies can be used to raise funds through cash surrender, death benefit loans and other means.  We recommend consulting your accountant or tax advisor for information on any tax liabilities you may incur.   

Furthermore, be sure to ask about MorningStar at Jordan Creek’s 1st year anniversary “$1 Moves You In” savings (available for a limited time only).  Please contact us to learn about pricing and availability or to set up a tour.
