In every assisted living facility, residents are provided with
the basics amenities which include housekeeping, three meals per
day,
weekly
laundry
and
recreational and social activities. In an "all-inclusive" home,
you will also receive all the assistance you need in relation to
your Activities of Daily
Living and medication management. In a home where they offer "levels
of care," the
monthly cost will correspond to the
care provided. For instance, if no additional care is required
upon admission, you will be expected to pay only the basic rate.
If your needs change, costs will be adjusted accordingly. These
potential additional
costs
must be factored in when planning a budget for an assisted living
facility. Ask yourself, are your needs going to change, and
will you be able to afford those changes if the time comes?
