The Home Care Program
Nichols Village initially opened in 2004 as a senior living community offering a completely independent living lifestyle. As time moved ahead, a real need arose among residents, and it was determined they could benefit from receiving home care services. To fulfill this need and preserve their residency, Nichols Village established an onsite Home Care Program highlighted by a unique partnership between Nichols Village and vetted home care providers. These program services are optional and include:
- “Supportive” care (non-medical) such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, meal preparation and companion care. Supportive care services are privately paid for by the resident and may be covered by long term care insurance or Veteran's Aid and Attendance benefits.
- “Skilled” care (medical) such as nursing care and physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Skilled services are covered by Medicare or private insurance when ordered by your physician.
