My cousin is looking for affordable senior housing. Any advice?

She is 86 years old and walks with a cane. She will need some assistance. She will need bars in the bathroom and a walk in shower.

Why must she go to an expensive facility? She might prefer to continue living in her own home, and have caregivers come to her. I don't see much details about her mental state, but if she is happy at home nobody should be trying to pressure her to move. She could easily live another 10 years, does she have enough money to pay 10 years rent, plus meals, and all the extra costs for extra assistance, some fAcility will provide only 2 hrs of housekeeping a week, and anything beyond that is an extra charge. Be very careful about moving into anyplace that won't tell you, before you sign, exactly what their charges are. And remember too, rent and extra charges will increase about 5% per year.

Go to the Find Housing and Care box or go up to the Search Site box and enter the city and state. It really does work.
