Assisted Living vs. Aging in Place Costs
When it comes to choosing the best option for taking good care of senior loved ones, there is a constant debate between assisted living versus living at home. Many would argue that healthcare costs, especially for senior living, are increasing rapidly. But that is not entirely true. This public perception has to be corrected by making people aware of the realities of assisted living facilities. Nowadays, many would prefer living at home because it is less expensive than assisted living, and technology, such as medical alert systems, allow seniors to be safely monitored in their home. Although this is true in many cases, the overall cost of assisted living is actually significantly less than living at home. Not to mention the daily assistance provided by assisted living facilities, which can significantly enhance the quality of life and improve seniors' health and safety.
