Shocked!! I am looking at ALF options in Miami. Assuming private pay, at least until Medicaid eligible/necessary. I have one friend who pays $3000 per month one county north, . I called one place in Miami, it is a nice place, but I was shocked., they told me it is $600 per day or $18,000 per month!!!! Any thoughts on what it is the expected rate?
My Mom was in a skilled nursing home which cost $12k per month, sharing a room. Mom needed around the clock intervention.
Dad was in Independent Living and later in Assisted Living/Memory Care, and the rent for said places was between $5k-$7k per month depending on what he needed. There were optional add ons.
Dad's Assisted Living/Memory Care included daily housekeeping, 3 meals in the dining room, studio apartment, laundry service, med service, and an Aide who would shower him, get him dressed and ready for the day... and night service getting him ready for bed. Dad brought along his own furniture, TV, etc.
