The Challenge Families Face in Senior Living Decisions
For many families, the decision to transition a loved one into an assisted living or memory care community is both emotional and financial. Placement advisors provide guidance on finding the right community, while financial advisors help navigate how to afford it. Yet one of the biggest barriers remains: liquidity.
Families often encounter:
- Unexpected Costs: Assisted living and memory care fees average thousands per month, often rising annually.
- Limited Coverage: Medicare and traditional insurance do not cover most long-term housing needs.
- Asset Dilemmas: Families must weigh selling a home, liquidating investments, or depleting savings to cover immediate costs.
- Decision Delays: Even when the right community is identified, affordability concerns can stall the move, causing stress and safety risks for seniors.
