Assisted Living in Spokane

hat is an assisted living facility?

A relatively new concept 25 years ago, today assisted living is the fastest growing long-term care option for seniors. Assisted living facilities, with their wide range of services, provide a senior housing solution for adults who can live independently, but also require some assistance. For many seniors, assisted living provides just the level of care they need to flourish and triumph in their new phase of life. After all, the golden years should be enjoyable-and assisted living has more options than ever before.

Assisted living is defined as a combining of housing, personalized supportive services and health care designed to meet the individual needs of persons who need help with the activities of daily living, but do not need the skilled medical care provided in a nursing home.

Assisted living costs

Assisted living costs vary, depending on the following factors:

• Type of residence

• Size of apartment (studio, one or two-bedroom apartment)

• Types of services needed

• The geographical location of the community

Many communities charge a basic rate that covers all services, with an additional fee for special services. Most assisted living communities charge a month-to-month rate, but there are also long-term options available.

Typically, base rates only cover room and board and a service of daily meals, determined by the assisted living community. Sometimes there are entrance fees, deposits, and laundry and housekeeping fees. But because these all vary by community, it's important to the Angel Senior Care Placement Specialists to consider every aspect and meet your needs as best as possible.
