FAQs for The Lakes at Banning

Assisted living is a residential community for the elderly and persons needing assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals.

Assisted living, licensed through the Department of Social Services, is housing for the elderly or persons unable to live independently that will provide mid-level custodial care with ADLs, medication support, lifestyle activities, transportation, and meals. A nursing home is a licensed facility that holds transfer agreements with hospitals for those who require long-term care or short-term rehabilitation services. They provide a higher level of constant care not provided by assisted living, including a staff of nurses and physicians.

We do not require a long-term contract. Rent is due on a month-to-month basis. Our Resident Agreement reflects your specific needs and costs and provides for cancellation with a written 30-day notice.

Medicare and Medicaid is not a funding source for general expenses for assisted living or memory care. However, we do accept private funds, long-term care insurance, and VA benefits.

The Lakes at Banning requires a nominal community fee.

The Lakes at Banning offers assisted living and memory care services, which are designed to let residents live an independent life, while enjoying the option of having assistance if needed.

A comprehensive assessment is completed prior to move-in, after 30 days, and upon a change of condition. Involvement from the resident, their family, and their physician will assist in the development of an individualized Service Care Plan.
