They want a large campus where they don't feel confined. They want good food. They want interesting activities. They are not near needing MC yet.

Is it open? It’s 55 and up and not sure if it’s assisted living and or memory care. They have places up to $2m plus I’m sure many thousands a month in fees.

Another high end is the Seneca in Rockville. Felt like a hotel. That too was in the 13,000-17,000 range. It seemed super nice.


A month?

Talk to the workers in the parking lot as they are coming and going to work. Their comments are eye opening.

Yikes

I toured it. Leaking windows and there aren’t that many residents. No real campus. The concierge level of the Virginian is nice.

I toured Brightview Bethesda. It was lovely. Very high end. Assisted living/memory care ranged from 12-17,000 a month. Might even have gone higher depending on needs.
