I am in the process of looking for an assisted living facility for my mom and dad. They want to be together of course, though my mom medical assistance. Any idea how much it will cost a month for a board and care?

There are a lot of assisted living facilities that will accommodate husband and wife. The price will depend on the location of the facility, services and amenities. What are you looking for? The bigger assisted living facilities charge more because of amenities. I think the average cost of assisted living in the U.S is $50k/year per person.

Thanks. I called several assisted living facilities that can accommodate my mom and dad. They cost about $7500 per month. It\'s expensive. I think it might be better to get an in-home caregiver and at the same time enroll my parents in different senior activities in their area so that they can interact with other seniors. But still have to check the rates for Adult day care facilities. Thanks for your help.
