[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sunrise is $300/day, but I heard some directors can work with families to put two people in 1 place.[/quote]

You realize that is over $100,000 a year.[/quote]

My mother started out at Sunrise, in a studio/room that cost about $4500/month.  As her need for help increased, so did the bill, until she was paying over $6500/month for the room plus various "a la carte" services.  We had a few terrible incidents of neglect there which caused us to move her to a smaller, memory-care-specific assisted living community.  There, she paid a flat monthly fee that covered everything she needed - $7950/month.

Thank goodness she saved diligently during her working life.  [/quote]

What's really hard about this is that the lady in the next bed qualifies for Medicaid and isn't paying anything for the same service.[/quote]

Its often not the same service.  Many nursing homes have special medicaid wings and the care and space are very different.  [/quote]
