Do you have $10,000/month for an hight-end Assisted Living Facility? No? It’s time to talk about other senior housing options. Finding a new place to live is not always easy. Research might help you get ready, for instance, taking into consideration few factors might help: what level of care will you get? how much is it going to cost? are you going to have interesting daily activities to choose from? and more. Planning is going to be one of the major challenges.
