Mount View Assisted Living is a 150-capacity assisted living residence in Lockport, in Western New York. The building has a long history in Niagara County — it began in 1917 as one of the first tuberculosis hospitals in the country, later became a full medical hospital and Mount View Health Facility, and has now been freshly renovated as assisted living. Its Assisted Living Program is built around good food and social opportunities, and is meant to restore choice, foster independence, and inspire residents to be curious again. Care includes 24-hour nursing and monitoring, an LPN on all shifts, medication management, help with dressing, grooming and showering, and therapy available on site. Residents eat full breakfast, lunch and dinner served restaurant-style, with a choice of the main dining room or a 1950s-style diner with an ice cream counter. Rooms are private or semi-private and fully furnished. Daily life includes exercise classes, concerts, movie nights, shopping trips, gardening, games, and special outings. Tours and walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or Saturday by appointment.

Does Medicare pay for assisted living?
No. Medicare does not pay for the rent or the day-to-day help in assisted living. That help is called custodial care, and Medicare does not cover it. Medicare still pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits.
What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted living gives a room, meals, and help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing. Staff are on hand day and night, but it does not give round-the-clock nursing care. A nursing home gives skilled nursing care and rehab around the clock. People who need help but not daily medical care often pick assisted living. People who need daily medical care often need a nursing home.
Who else pays for assisted living besides Medicare?
Most people pay out of pocket. Medicaid pays for care services in assisted living in many states through waiver programs, but it does not pay the rent. A VA pension called Aid and Attendance can add money each month for veterans who need help with daily tasks. Long-term care insurance can pay for part of the cost.
