[quote=Anonymous]PP here, forgot to answer some of your questions. My mom started in assisted living level zero and went to level 2, which is medication management and help with showering/bathing. Each tier costs more money. There were more tiers in assisted living, but she needed to move to memory care for safety. In her memory care, she is at tier 4 level which is 10.5k/month. I think the highest is Tier 7 which is around 13k/month. That is for someone who is pretty much bedridden and needs assistance with moving, eating, etc. Usually by that time hospice is involved and some people never quite get there. My mom is physically fairly healthy and mobile, but needs assistance with bathing, dressing, brushing teeth, sitting to eat meals,and following any directions for activities. She also sometimes needs assistance toileting and, of course, taking medications. [/quote]
