They have all the amenities of an assistant living except bathing & dressing and cost about $1,000 less per month. My Mother has lived in one for 8 years now & will be 90 next month. As she's gotten older, we have contracted w/a service who gives her medicines & do her laundry. They give her meds to her 3 times a day at $30 per day. Later, we added to the service by having someone come every morning and get her up and make her bed & spend 1 hr w/her for $12 per day. Despite these add-ons, her costs still run about $1,000 less a month than assistant living. Her room has pull cords. Included are sheets & linens which they launder. Also included are all 3 meals, maid service once a week and all utilities. She has a very nice room for about $1927 a month. My Mother loves living there. Unless your Mother is an invalid, a retirement facility is certainly worth considering.<br />LynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653930525366801694.post-90843737184590341282011-08-29T21:38:39.198-05:002011-08-29T21:38:39.198-05:00Its hard taking care of parents.
