hen I meet with families just beginning their search for assisted living or memory care, I find many are experiencing sticker shock. Unfortunately, the cost of high-quality senior care can be expensive. However, remember that while these monthly costs aren’t inexpensive, they do allow many seniors to leave behind other expenses. If you’re living at home now, you may be paying rent or mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities, lawn care, groceries, property insurance, housekeeping, maintenance and repairs. A move to a senior living community will mark the end of those bills. You’ll enjoy the freedom of a maintenance-free lifestyle and the many amenities the senior living community offers. For some families, even with the expected savings, the cost of senior living remains out of reach. However, don’t give up too easily. I encourage families to look at other options such as longterm care insurance.
