If you or a loved one is making the decision to stay at home or move to an assisted care facility, you might think the cheapest option is to stay home. This may be true for some people as they may not have as many needs as other seniors. However, the true cost of keeping a loved one at home can be more than just a mortgage payment or rent.
As an older adult’s care needs increase, so do expenses. These can include at-home care, transportation, home maintenance, lawn care, cooking and/or meal preparation. For seniors that can’t complete these tasks on their own, they would need help from family or friends. Unfortunately, not all friends or family members have flexible schedules. You may need to hire someone to help out. These expenses may not seem like a lot now, however down the road they could add up.
Our community provides many of these services including housing, meals, maintenance, activities and personalized support into one monthly cost. This is a great way to see your expenses for the long term. This can provide peace of mind and clarity to families as owning a home comes with unpredictable expenses.
