[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15K Poster, can you give us more details. What kind of apartment? Is this a spacious luxury 2 bedroom or something very special Or, what's driving-up the cost so high?[/quote]

I wouldn’t call it spacious but yes, this is “luxury AL” (although I use that term very loosely) that offers memory care when it will be needed and is in close proximity to dc (bc we live nearby and need to get to parent  quickly bc of jobs/kids/number of appts). 1 bedroom + living area (small) + high level care plan. Frankly, the care should be better for the cost, and many things in the plan aren’t happening, but I’m learning this is the ugly side of living in facilities - even the nicest ones. Everyone is short-staffed, underpaid and overworked, especially in the shadows of covid. The non-luxury version of this, in a community w/ more turnover, was 12k. A studio and lower care plan would be cheaper — my family member would’ve clawed my face off if I set them up in a studio. [/quote]

Op here.  Can I ask how much his expenses are above the charges for rent and care from the AL facility?   I’m trying to figure out how much of a buffer my aunt and uncle would need above those charges.   [/quote]

Room Rent is roughly 2/3 of cost. [/quote]
