đź’¨ Abstract

This article discusses assisted living, a housing option for seniors who need help with daily tasks but not full medical care. Assisted living facilities offer services like meal assistance, medication management, and social activities. The median annual cost is $70,800, varying by location. Medicare does not cover custodial care costs, but it may pay for certain medical services. Other payment options include Medicare Advantage, long-term care insurance, Medicaid, self-pay, and veterans benefits.
