Belmont Village is a chain of senior living communities, not a government program
Belmont Village operates private assisted living and memory care communities across multiple states. It is a for-profit company, not a government agency or subsidy program. If you are looking at Belmont Village, you are choosing a specific private provider — which means you pay the community directly, and you may use government programs like Medicaid or Veterans benefits to help cover the cost, but Belmont Village itself does not distribute those funds.
Belmont Village communities typically serve older adults who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, but who do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Some Belmont Village locations also operate memory care units for residents with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. The communities are usually located in suburban or urban areas, and they vary in size from around 100 to 200+ residents per location.
Because Belmont Village is a private company, costs, services, and availability differ by location. There is no single Belmont Village phone number or process process — you contact the specific community where you are interested in moving.

How to find and contact a specific Belmont Village location
Belmont Village operates communities in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. The company's main website lists all locations with addresses and phone numbers. You can search by state or city to see whether a Belmont Village community exists near you.
Once you identify a location, call that community directly. The admissions team will tell you about available units, current pricing, what services are included, and what the move-in process looks like. They will also tell you whether the community accepts Medicaid, Medicare, or Veterans benefits — this varies by location and by the specific program.
Do not assume a Belmont Village community near you has openings. Many assisted living communities have waiting lists, especially in high-demand areas. Some locations may not have memory care units, or may not accept new residents with certain medical needs.
What costs you should expect to ask about
Belmont Village communities charge a monthly fee that covers rent, utilities, meals, activities, and basic information with daily living. This base fee varies widely by location and by the level of care needed — a community in California will typically cost more than one in a less expensive state. As of recent years, monthly costs at Belmont Village communities have ranged from around $3,000 to $8,000 or more, but this varies significantly and changes over time.
Beyond the base monthly fee, ask the community about additional charges. Some services — such as extra help with bathing, medication management beyond a certain level, or specialized memory care — may cost more. Some communities charge move-in fees or deposits. Get a written list of what is included in the base fee and what costs extra before you commit.
When you call, ask specifically whether the community accepts Medicaid, and if so, which Medicaid program (your state's program, for example). Ask whether they accept Medicare, Veterans benefits, or long-term care insurance. Understanding what payment methods the community takes will help you figure out whether you can actually afford to live there.
Using Medicaid to pay for Belmont Village
Some Belmont Village communities accept Medicaid, but not all of them do, and not all states' Medicaid programs cover assisted living in the same way. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program, so the rules depend on where you live.
In some states, Medicaid covers assisted living through a waiver program that lets people receive care in a community setting instead of a nursing home. In other states, Medicaid only covers skilled nursing facilities, not assisted living. You need to know what your state's Medicaid program covers before you assume Belmont Village is an option.
If you think you may be Medicaid-may be able to access, contact your state Medicaid office or a local Area Agency on Aging before you tour Belmont Village communities. They can tell you whether assisted living is covered in your state and what the income and asset limits are. Then, when you call Belmont Village, ask whether they accept your state's Medicaid program and what the process is for residents who use Medicaid to pay.
Using Veterans benefits to pay for Belmont Village
Veterans and their surviving spouses may be able to use Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits to help pay for assisted living. This is a monthly benefit from the Department of Veterans Affairs, not a Belmont Village program. If you are a Veteran or the surviving spouse of a Veteran, you can explore for this benefit through the VA, and then use the money to pay Belmont Village or any other provider.
The Aid and Attendance benefit is not automatic — you have to explore, and approval can take several months. The benefit amount varies based on your income and assets, and it is not always enough to cover the full cost of assisted living. But if you are a Veteran, it is worth exploring.
When you call a Belmont Village community, ask whether they have experience working with Veterans who use Aid and Attendance benefits. Some communities are more familiar with the process than others, and that can make the transition smoother.
The admissions process and what to bring
When you contact a Belmont Village community, the admissions team will ask about your health, your ability to perform daily activities, and your care needs. They will want to know whether you have any medical conditions that require specialized care, and whether you have been hospitalized or in rehabilitation recently. This helps them decide whether you are a good fit for their community and what level of care you will need.
Most communities will ask you to visit in person or arrange a tour before you move in. During the tour, you can see the units, meet staff, and ask questions about daily life in the community. Some communities may ask for medical records or a doctor's evaluation before they admit you.
Be prepared to provide proof of income, assets, and insurance when you explore. If you are using Medicaid or Veterans benefits, the community will need documentation of your may be able to access. Have your Social Security number, Medicare card (if you have one), and insurance information ready.
What to ask before you commit to moving
Before you sign a lease or move-in agreement with Belmont Village, ask these questions: What is included in the monthly fee, and what costs extra? What happens if your care needs increase — will the cost go up, and by how much? What is the policy if you need to move to a higher level of care, such as skilled nursing? Can you leave if you are unhappy, and what is the notice period? Does the community accept your insurance or benefits program?
Also ask about staffing and turnover. How many staff members work at the community, and what is their training? How quickly do they respond if a resident needs help? What activities and programs are available? What is the food like, and can the community accommodate dietary restrictions?
Get everything in writing. Do not rely on verbal promises about services, costs, or what will happen if your situation changes. Read the lease or residency agreement carefully, or have someone you trust review it with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Belmont Village the same as a nursing home?
No. Belmont Village communities provide assisted living or memory care, which means help with daily activities and supervision, but not 24-hour skilled nursing care. A nursing home (skilled nursing facility) provides medical care and nursing services. If you need skilled nursing, Belmont Village is not the right setting.
Can I move to Belmont Village if I am on a fixed income?
That depends on the location and your income level. Some Belmont Village communities accept Medicaid, which can help pay for residents with lower incomes. Others do not. Call the specific community to ask about payment options and whether they work with people on fixed incomes.
What if I move to Belmont Village and then need more care than they provide?
Most Belmont Village communities can tell you in advance what level of care they can provide. If your needs increase beyond what they offer, you may need to move to a skilled nursing facility or a higher level of care. Ask the community what their policy is before you move in, and whether they help residents transition to other facilities if needed.
Do all Belmont Village communities offer memory care?
Not all locations have memory care units. Some Belmont Village communities focus only on assisted living for older adults without dementia. When you call, ask specifically whether the location you are interested in has a memory care program.
How long does it take to move into Belmont Village?
The timeline varies by community and by whether a unit is available. Some communities may have when ready openings, while others have waiting lists that could be weeks or months long. Ask when you call, and get an estimate of how long the admissions process typically takes.
