What is Residential Assisted Living?

Residential Assisted Living (RAL) provides long-term housing and personalized care for seniors who need assistance with daily activities but do not require intensive medical care. Unlike large, institutional-style facilities, residential assisted living homes offer a more intimate, family-centered environment where residents receive individualized attention and support.

At Gigi's Place, we have embraced this model to create a warm, comfortable home where residents can maintain their independence while receiving the care they need. Our smaller setting allows us to build meaningful relationships with each resident and provide truly personalized care.

Gigi's Place vs. Traditional Assisted Living

The primary difference between Gigi's Place and a traditional assisted living facility is the size, atmosphere, and level of personalized care.

Gigi's Place Residential Assisted Living

• Smaller, home-like setting

• High caregiver-to-resident ratio

• Family-style environment where everyone is known by name

• Personalized care plans tailored to each resident

• Greater flexibility and individualized attention

• Comfortable residential setting that feels like home on a single story (no elevators to navigate)

Traditional Assisted Living Facilities

• Larger apartment-style communities, multiple floor level buildings requiring mobility & cognitive function to manage an elevator to dine and for activities.

• Levels of care fee structure- rates increase as needs increase and sometimes substantially, which can affect ability to pay for unexpected increases

• Often house dozens or even hundreds of residents

• Campus-like environment with centralized dining and activities

• More structured schedules and programs

• Less individualized attention due to larger resident populations

Understanding the Cost of Care

One of the greatest benefits of Gigi's Place is our all-inclusive pricing model. Many assisted living communities charge additional fees as care needs increase, resulting in unexpected monthly expenses.

At Gigi's Place, our rates include:

• No surprise expenses

• No added charges when a resident requires more assistance

• Three personalized, home-cooked meals daily

• Housekeeping and laundry services

• 24/7 caregiving support

• Furnished suites with many extras

• Unlimited snacks and refreshments

• No hidden fees

This approach allows families to plan confidently, knowing exactly what their monthly investment includes.
