The Costs of Care, Part 3: How to Meet the Costs of Care

November 4, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

If your parents own a home, the home can be sold and the money used to pay for your parents’ care. Parents can downsize into an apartment, or move to a retirement home or LTC facility.

If staying in their own home is important to your parents, they can directly draw on the equity in their home to pay the costs of home care. The two most popular options used right now are the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) and the reverse mortgage.

This is the third post in a three-part series on the costs of senior care.

In this second post, we will take a more in-depth look at how much these different options cost. Costs of Retirement Homes and Assisted Living The monthly costs of retirement homes is largely dependent upon the size of suite, the amenities available in the home, and whether the residence is for-profit or not-for-profit. Of course, assisted living packages in retirement homes increase in costs concurrent with the level of care needed. The acclaimed Christie Gardens not-for-profit retirement home has monthly rates starting at $2400 for independent living in a one-bedroom suite, and rates beginning at $4500 for full assisted living. Large chain for-profit retirement homes, such as Revera, which offer lovely accommodation and living, usually start at $32
