a. YES! Many of our residents use their Long-Term Care Insurance to cover their stay at Marama. We are happy to create the documentation necessary to receive reimbursement from your Long-Term Care Insurance company. We are a licensed RCFE or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly in California.

b. At Marama we do not offer health or medical care only residential care, so we do not bill Medicare or other health insurances. We do help facilitate trips to the doctor, dentist or home visits from physical therapists and other providers. Payments for those services are arranged between the patient and the provider.

Yes!! We LOVE couples. Experiencing Marama together means you both get the health and brain benefits! You also both learn new routines around diet, exercise and meditation. These are routines and skills we hope you will take home with you as you continue on a healthy path. We are licensed for 12 beds, so both individuals would be established as residents and we are not able to offer accommodations to one resident without charging for the services.

We opened our doors to new residents the first week of March 2020. We have only existed with COVID and feel fortunate not a single resident has gotten COVID at Marama. This was because of diligence from our staff to keep residents safe. Staff have been tested routinely for COVID every 2 weeks. They properly and consistently wash hands, wear masks and keep their distance as much as possible. We also limited in person visits from friends, family members and providers. We continued yoga and music outside and at a distance from the teachers and performers. We are looking forward to relaxing our vigilance as more and more people are vaccinated and incidence rates decline.

We recommend residents plan to stay for at least 6 – 12 months. We typically start seeing improvement within 6 months, however depending on what you have been able to incorporate at home in advance of your stay it can take a bit longer. Remember, this process has been going on for decades before it presented as memory loss. It will take a bit of time to reverse it.
