[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Room and board runs $5k to $7k per month in the greater DC area.  But you pay for all of your medical care, medications, activities, hygiene items, etc.  What you get is basically your college dorm and meal plan with an upgraded Resident Assistant for your $5k to $7k.[/quote]

This is what my mom pays in DC proper for a so-so place. Sunrise facilities that I looked at in DC proper are newer than hers, have high buy-ins, and generally higher monthly rates. My mom also has a personal CNA aide that charges about $21/hour. My mom doesn't like to wait for anything, so having her aide means she can get her assistance immediately. A high price to pay for impatience or an unwillingness to plan ahead, but so be it.  [/quote]

That is too bad... we are getting really good care at the nursing home and no waiting.  They are really attentive.  Food looks bad but MIL loves it.  They pay for the medications, but we provide the hygiene (I think they might if we don't but we just provided them) and I have not figured out activities.  She would probably be better off at a better nursing home.[/quote]
