Keep in mind

  • Assisted living usually includes meals, utilities, housekeeping, activities, and some transportation, but care-level fees vary.
  • Home care costs climb fast with hours: at $28/hour, 44 hours a week is about $5,339 a month (CareScout's figure) [1].
  • Not everything is about money: safety, company, and caregiver strain matter too.
