Senior Living Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

No question is too big or too small when you’re thinking about a move to senior living. It’s a major decision, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. If Longleaf Bee Cave is on your list, we’re thrilled you’re considering us! We’re happy to help however we can. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common senior living questions

Don’t see what you’re looking for? Just reach out — our team is always happy to chat.

What is the difference between assisted living and memory care?

Assisted living provides personalized support for seniors who live a relatively independent lifestyle but require some assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Memory care provides a higher level of support and care in a secure environment for seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.

What is respite care?

Respite care, also known as short-term care, provides temporary relief for caregivers, allowing them to take a break from their caregiving responsibilities. During a short-term stay, seniors receive exceptional support and care while having full access to the services and amenities of the senior living community.

How do I know which level of care is right for me or my loved one?

Our team helps families navigate this decision with a personalized assessment based on health needs, mobility, and daily routines. We’ll work with you to find the right fit and ensure the support matches your current lifestyle and long-term goals.

What happens if my care needs change after I move in?

You won’t need to worry about moving to a different community, we’re here for the long haul! Longleaf Bee Cave is designed to support residents as their needs evolve. If your health or mobility changes, you can easily transition between living options, all under one roof and without the stress of relocating. That means no major disruptions, and the comfort of staying close to neighbors, staff, and a community you already know and trust.

What are the benefits of continuing care at Longleaf Bee Cave?

Residents here have access to high-quality services and first-class amenities that support both their current lifestyle and future needs. With on-site Assisted Living, Memory Care, Respite Care, and other therapeutic services, there’s no need to worry about the “what-ifs” of life. We’re here for every step of the journey.

What are the advantages of on-site care?

When additional support is needed, residents don’t have to worry about where to go, how much it will cost, or the quality of care. Everything is available in a comfortable, familiar setting. If one spouse needs care, the other can stay close without relocating. We also offer short-term respite care for those recovering from an illness or injury.

What is an entry fee, or buy in?

An entry fee is a large, upfront payment made to a community at move-in to cover costs related to housing, services, amenities, and future care. It’s often partially refundable to an individual or their estate after residency ends. At Longleaf Bee Cave, we operate as a rental community, which means no large entry fee or long-term contract is required, while still providing the same quality services and amenities.

What is included in the rent?
  • Three chef-prepared meals per day
  • Customized care plans
  • Weekly housekeeping and laundry service
  • Maintenance of residences, buildings, and grounds
  • Scheduled transportation for medical appointments and group outings
  • On-site registered nurse, available 24/7
  • Accommodations for special dietary needs
Are utilities included?

Yes, all utilities and basic cable are included. Telephone and internet services are not, but free WiFi is available throughout the community’s residences and common spaces.

Plus, private rooms and catering are available for special celebrations and gatherings. In the case of unprecedented events, such as COVID-19, we take precautions to provide safe and secure visits with family members and friends as recommended by the CDC.
