Assisted Living Cost in GeorgiaThe main goal of this article is to provide you with a basic understanding on Assisted Living Cost in Georgia, and how do most facilities calculate the final number. To make things simple they are divided into three sections: 1. General Suite Fee ($50-$150 per day) This is a standard fee charged by Assisted Living Facilities for their suites. General price for an independent living suite can vary by location, size and choices of accommodations, and are priced in the range of $50-$150 per day. Alzheimer’s care residents would usually pay $5-$10 more per day for their suite. This fee also includes general maintenance fees, house keeping, and some assistance with every day activities, and most utilities. 2. Assisted Living Fees ($20-$100 per day) In case your loved one is in the need of special care, or certain special programs (such as diet for example) that is offered by the assisted living facility, be extra careful in understanding which level of care they need. In this segment I will provide you a list of most “service plans” offered by a facility. Please notice that all of them are usually graded. The higher the grade, the more you will have to pay. General services from the list below could add between $20 and $100 per day to your bill!
Out of all, the most important service would be a Medication Service that can vary from $5-$15 per day. 3. Community (one time fee) ($1000-$2000) Community fee is usually paid for prior to moving in and it covers the general maintenance of the building and community areas within a facility. It varies from $1000-$2000. Eventually you will have to go through a process with each Assisted Living Facility, to find out the details about their services, prices and so on, and in most cases they are very clear and up front with all information. However the most important task is still ahead of you and that is to locate at least 3-5 facilities that you will consider a potential option! |
