[quote=Anonymous]My mom stayed in independent living until she died at 95. Extra costs included but we’re not necessarily necessary… I’ll put more necessary at the top. Furniture and home goods. Toiletries Breakfast/lunch: dinner or lunch was included, most elderly eat 2x a day so my mom ate breakfast in her apartment and ate dinner at 5pm. Some excursions were extra money on campus activities were not Cable As she got older we paid for 1x per week shower 1x per week cleaning and laundry As she got older : 2x per month a nurse came in and put her pills in a pill box 1x per day a person would check on her at night to make sure she was ready for bed and took her meds 3x per week we paid a companion to take her out to lunch, etc simply because she was not getting out. I drove my mom to a few drs appointments because she didn’t want to change drs closer to campus. When she fell someone on campus came she had a button or if she was close to the phone she called security. [/quote]
