Assisted living costs differ by location and facility, as many communities offer different levels of care, amenities, and activities. Prices also vary based on how much — or how little — assistance a senior needs.
Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Assisted living is long-term care for seniors who are generally active and independent, but who require increased supervision and help with some daily tasks. Staff can assist residents with activities of daily living like dressing, bathing, and medication management. Assisted living is also a good option for seniors seeking more socialization. Services and amenities in assisted living facilities often include:
Assisted living communities in Milwaukee provide supervision, community style living, and personal care services to seniors who may require limited assistance with the activities of daily living (ADL). These communities promote independence among seniors who do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care.
The median monthly cost of assisted living in Milwaukee is $4,705 for the city proper and $4,854 for the metropolitan area. Meanwhile, the median cost of WI assisted living communities is $4,544.
