What You Should Know About Assisted Living
Many seniors choose assisted living because they no longer want the hassle of house maintenance and home upkeep. A base fee usually covers housing, meals, housekeeping and transportation needs.
Assist your loved one in downsizing before entering an assisted living facility; this can be an emotional journey.
Costs
Many seniors who choose assisted living facilities must pay an exorbitant cost, often selling their homes or taking on additional debt to cover the care costs they require.
Costs vary significantly but typically cover housing, meals, 24-hour supervision, housekeeping services and daily non-medical assistance. Some communities also charge a one-time fee for medications management or health screenings.
