AL is far more expensive - generally $10k/ month.

Not what I’m seeing.

Buy-in communities are $100-200k plus monthly fees.

ALs start at $5k in the dc metro area.

$5k for AL in the DC area has to mean a small group home (maybe 5-10 rooms max). It’s going to be very basic at that cost. Most of the larger/fancier places start at about twice that and can easily go up depending on the care level needed.

I’m not looking at fancy.

And I’m not looking for a lot of care at the entry level: just apartment, meals, and staff that can alert someone if they fall or aren’t eating.

Chesterbrook is a nice facility - it's in Falls Church - McLean, VA.
