Assisted Living

Several factors impact the cost of assisted living, including geographic location, local cost of living, assistance level, community amenities, and whether the community is pet-friendly. Think of these factors as more than just luxuries—they can make a significant impact on your loved one’s daily well-being and overall health.

When evaluating the cost of a senior living community, consider your loved one’s needs beyond today. Your loved one may need additional services and care as they age. When looking at communities, be sure to create a plan for your loved one’s future to ensure they can age in the same community.
