(HealthDayNews) -- Would you choose to move into an assisted living facility? If you had no choice, would you be prepared to do so? If you've done your homework -- helped, perhaps, by a family member or friend -- you're more likely to make the right move.
Assisted living facilities offer various services and accommodations. Some offer around-the-clock nursing services, while others offer a minimum of nursing
support -- or something between the full- and minimum-care levels.
Some facilities monitor and adjust residents' personal service and medical needs more often than do others. Some offer greater ranges of recreational and social activities. The cost of these facilities ranges from as little as $1,000 per month to more than $4000 monthly.
Assisted living experts recommend that you find out the facts now, before being self-sufficient is no longer an option.
