Assisted Living Costs vs. Aging in Place Expenses
There are costs associated with living at home. You are required to pay separate bills for things like mortgages, utilities, property taxes, and homeowner’s insurance, which in Los Angeles is becoming increasingly expensive or difficult to obtain. You also have to budget for things like groceries, healthcare, entertainment, travel, and transportation. Other costs may include housekeeping, yard care, and maintenance services, just to name a few.
Now imagine wrapping all those costs into a single monthly payment. That is what happens when you move into an Assisted Living Community.
So, before you write off Assisted Living Communities because you think they are too expensive, add up the costs associated with living at home and compare those costs to the cost of assisted living communities in the Los Angeles area.
Choosing where to live during retirement is a weighty decision. One option is ageing in place in your family home or downsized residence. For seniors who need more assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, and medication management, the cost of additional services required to ensure your well-being can add up quickly, especially if you are considering hiring professionals to provide the assistance you desire.
What may be surprising is that the cost of assisted living in Los Angeles is often lower that the combined expenses of living at home with professional in-home care services.
