Is an assisted living community the same as a nursing home?

Arcadia Senior Living Clarksville is a licensed assisted living community, not a nursing home. While we provide help with daily activities, our setting is residential and non-clinical—focused on promoting independence, choice, and comfort. Medical care is coordinated through external healthcare providers as needed.

Do I have to share a living unit (i.e., apartment) with another client?

No. Each resident enjoys their own private apartment. Couples or companions may choose to share a unit if preferred.

Do I have to sign any legal papers?

Yes. Residents (or their representatives) will sign a month-to-month lease agreement outlining services, terms, and community policies. This ensures clarity and mutual understanding from the start.

Will you provide me with transportation to my doctor, hairdresser, etc.?

Yes. We offer scheduled transportation for doctor visits, shopping trips, personal outings, and group activities. Just let our team know, and we’ll help coordinate.

Can I bring furniture and furnishings for my living unit?

Absolutely. We encourage residents to furnish their apartments with personal items—furniture, artwork, keepsakes—to make the space feel truly like home.

What determines the cost of living in an assisted living community?

Your monthly cost is based on:

The size and layout of your apartment
The level of care or support needed
Any optional services or upgrades you select

We offer a transparent, all-inclusive pricing model—with no large buy-in fees—so you can plan ahead with confidence.

Are the assisted living community employees required to be trained?

Yes. Resident safety is a top priority. All team members undergo training and a comprehensive criminal background check before employment.

Do you conduct criminal records checks on your employees?

Typically, Medicare and Medicaid do not cover room and board in assisted living communities. However, some medical services from external providers may be covered. Our team can help you explore your options based on your individual benefits.

Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for assisted living services?

Do long term care insurance policies pay for services in assisted living communities?

Many do include benefits for assisted living. Coverage can vary, so we recommend reviewing your policy. Our team is happy to assist you in understanding what your plan may cover at Arcadia.
