Why do People Consider Assisted Living to be Expensive?<\/h1>\n
Assisted living care may be a requirement for some seniors. Those struggling with ADLs (activities of daily living) and IADLs (instrumental activities of daily living) may need extra support. Especially if their care requires skilled support that a family member cannot provide.<\/p>\n
But is it affordable?<\/p>\n
The answer depends on several factors and varies by family and the senior\u2019s needs. Because while it can seem expensive, the support it provides is invaluable in maintaining quality of life.<\/p>\n
Below, we explore factors of assisted living cost and other facets. Like how cost of care compares to other options.<\/p>\n
Factors that Affect Cost<\/h2>\n
There is no set cost defined for any senior living, assisted living, or memory care options. Monthly costs vary depending on what the resident needs and what the community offers. Some factors that affect the cost of senior care include:<\/p>\n
Level of Care<\/h3>\n
Different care needs require different levels of support. Fees and other costs will vary depending on the needs of the resident. More involved care may include fees to cover extra support. This ensures that residents have the care they need.<\/p>\n
Location<\/h3>\n
Costs vary depending on the location of the community. Every state has different cost margins and cost will change dramatically based on its geographical location. This is because the area impacts a community\u2019s operational costs.<\/p>\n
Apartment Size<\/h3>\n
Assisted living communities may offer a choice of apartment sizes. Depending on the apartment, costs will vary according to its size and features. Bigger apartments typically mean a higher cost.<\/p>\n
