Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
A semi-private room is $327.00 a day. Private is $397.00 to $427.00 a day. Our monthly bill is over $11,000 per month. We are not in the expensive part of the US that is noted in this article. I WISH it was only $7,000.
Contact your local Area Agency on Aging and ask if there's a search/filter tool to find all possible ALs or care homes within a specified area in PA. I just did this for FL and it could be filtered by county. Didn't provide cost but did give other very helpful info. Many came up using the tool that did not show up in just a general google search.
In Palm Springs, CA, a quite expensive town overall, three years ago you could be at a quite nice ALF for 4,500.00 a month. My own brother had two rooms in a lovely cottage for 5,000 a month at that time with assessment of level one. Now as the levels go up for needs of medication delivery, baths, help with dressing and etc. (levels being level I through IV) the costs go up markedly. Memory care was more, though I don't know what their costs were. The Bay Area of San Francisco is considerably more. I would say that they vary markedly city to city and town to town and state to state across our country and it comes down to whatever the traffic will bear for this business model.
We’re Alaskan and even if we could find the highest level of necessary, to take care of both our parents, officially diagnosed with dementia, it could be so expensive, it would break us in less than a year. I can’t imagine, the cost, but the availability is just as much a problem. It’s overwhelming.
Peeps83, please note there is a difference in pricing when it comes to Nursing Homes, and Assisted Living. Nursing Homes require a different set of skill training and equipment compared to an Assisted Living setting. It is quite common for people to think they are one in the same.
When my Mom was in a Nursing Home the cost was $12,000 per month, and that was 5 years ago. When my Dad was in Assisted Living/Memory Care it was $7,000 per month.
Are u talking about an article on this site? If the article is talking about Assisted Living 7k is average for that type of residence. What you are quoting is for a Nursing Home, Longterm care.
When we talk about Assisted Living here, it not a Nursing Home. It is a residence. ALs are cheaper than Nursing homes, Skilled Nursing and Long-term care. Its what it says, they assist people. Help them bathe, dress, give them their medication. These people usually have their minds but need some type of assistance. If there is Dementia/ALZ in the picture those people need Memory care and that's even more expensive. Both are private pay. Medicaid does not pay for these. Some States may offer a waiver for ALs. In these residences the people have their own rooms.
The Long-term care, Nursing Home, Skilled nursing facilities are the most expensive starting at about 10k or more a month. But most offer Medicaid if the person fits the criteria which is needs 24/7 care, is under the income and asset caps set by Medicaid. The persons SS and pension if any, will go towards their care and Medicaid pays their share.
I live in a small town and in my area these costs are correct for LTC. Almost 6 years ago my Mom paid $9300 a month and that was for a semi-private room. She paid 5k for her Assisted Living.
