Eldercare costs

  Long term care facilities costs continue to climb.  According to the MetLife 2011 Marketing Survey, private room nursing home rates rose %4.4 to an average of  $239/day, and assisted living jumped %5 to an average of $3477/month.  After holding steady for a year, adult day care service costs saw a %4.5 increase.  Fortunately, the average cost of Home Health Aide and Companion services held steady.
  In-Home health services continue to provide the biggest bang for the healthcare buck.  No other service can offer the one-on-one caregiver to patient ratio for the same costs.  A quick glance at this chart gives a good breakdown of how the costs per service compare.
  As always, we encourage you to investigate all options when researching care needs.  You can then make a choice that best suits your needs.  If you have questions, feel free to call us today at 704-909-7958 or visit our website by clicking here.  We'll be glad to assist you in any way possible.
