The price for assisted living care reflects several factors, the two largest of which
are the cost of care and the cost of the facility.
You should be able to see a relationship between the monthly fees that you pay, the
quality and quantity of staff at the facility, the level of care needed and the location
of the facility.
In California, prices at both small and large facilities range widely from less than $1000
to more than $5000 per month. Additionally, different areas of the state are more or less
expensive than the average.
This is an area where the knowledge and experience of our local experts can be especially
helpful for you and the planning that you need to do.
Many facilities have tiered pricing structures based on the services they provide and the
level of care needed.
Ask for detailed information on the pricing structures of facilities in which you are
interested. Additionally, make sure you are clear about how much notice is provided before
the facility increases the care, and hence the monthly charges, to a resident.
