[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are about 5 years away from probably having to move my MIL to an assisted living facility in the DC area and I'm trying to get a sense of what this will cost.  Does anyone know what something like the sunrise facilities in DC cost - both as an ititial buy in and on a monthly basis?[/quote]

Ballpark $5k-10k per month depending on services needed.    Quite a bit can happen in 5 years, though.[/quote]

This.  If there is low or no income at least in Maryland, Medicaid will pay for it but its very difficult to do.  We just moved my MIL here.  Very few places take medicaid and most only take people out of the hospital.  The county also claims to provide in-home care but we could not figure out how to do get it.  To get assisted living, you have to get on the medicaid waiver, which is about a 5 year wait, so put your name on the list now.  It took us about 8 months.  We got on some wait lists about 5 months before bringing her here but was told she had to be an MD resident to get help.  We brought her to live with us, established residency and then got her into a nursing home.  It was not an easy process.  If you private pay, there are lots more options.[/quote]
