To the op, if she does end up going into assisted living and you tour different facilities, be sure to ask what is or is not included, AND the cost. The promoted monthly rental rates get bouyed up with the subtle surprise extras.
How long is the rent rate fixed for?
Laundry service included?
Does laundry service only cover bedding or residents clothes/towels as well?
Charge for labeling residents clothes
Cost of spare keys for family members
Who supplies laundry soap
a$$wipe provided or resident supplied
cable
phone
internet
bi weekly cleaning
If they provide some cleaning-expect to pay outsiders to do real cleaning.
charge for visitors meals?
How about credit for resident skipped meals
There is more I'm forgetting but someone else might recall.
In the end, this stuff is nickle and dime but may catch some off guard if dealing with a limited budget.
Oh, the rental rates can be all over the map, look poor.
