Cost Comparison
What Does Staying at Home Really Cost?
When families start to consider senior living for a loved one, the quality of care, the compassion of the staff and safety all come first. But cost matters too, and it is rarely simple to work out.
Staying at home looks cheaper until you add it up. The mortgage or rent is only part of it. There are utilities, groceries, insurance, repairs, the car, and often paid help on top. In assisted living most of that is one monthly figure.
