Your first question may well be, "What is the cost of residing in an Assisted Living Home?" Facilities can vary widely in cost depending upon the location of the home, room size, services offered, and several other factors. Unlike nursing homes, Medicare does not pay for assisted living services; as a result, many assisted living facilities accept only private-pay residents. However, some states do offer financial assistance, such as Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income. The state of Arizona is one such state, and does provide assistance for some needy seniors. Inquire at your local Medicaid or health services office for information on whether your state has a comparable plan. Other sources of funding include long-term care insurance; a wise alternative to the more expensive and more institutionally oriented nursing home care. Throughout Arizona, many assisted living homes truly want their residents to get away from an institutional environment, and strive to make their residents feel at home.
High quality assisted living care costs are approximately $73 to $100 per day, depending on the level of care required. By comparison, high quality nursing home care costs are roughly $180 to $300 per day. Overall, make sure you know what you are paying for. The standard monthly fee for assisted living should always cover basic room and board, as well as all meals, laundry, and services. Ask about which services and level of care are provided in the standard monthly fee and what if any additional fees exist for services not covered under the standard plan.
