What housekeeping services are available and are they included in the monthly fee?
Next comes price. Assisted living can be expensive. Monthly fees may be the same for everyone, or set based on which services you need. But fees can rise at any time, and extra services may raise them, especially if they include hourly charges for assistance. The management of some residences also charges an entrance fee or requires a refundable security deposit. Some private long-term care insurance policies cover some of the costs associated with long-term care, but Medicare does not. Certain states may cover some services under Medicaid.
