The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The type of care required has the biggest influence on the overall cost of senior care in Idaho Falls and throughout the country.&nbsp;The cost of nursing home care is more than double that of&nbsp;assisted living. Home care is $410 to $1,363 more expensive&nbsp;per month, depending on whether a home health aide or homemaker service is required. When comparing senior care costs, it’s important to consider all&nbsp;related expenses. For instance, residents in an&nbsp;assisted living or a&nbsp;skilled nursing facility no longer have the expenses associated with&nbsp;maintaining a&nbsp;home,&nbsp;such as rent, upkeep and utilities.

Elderlife&nbsp;Bridge Loans <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/our-services/#BridgeLoanInfo" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/our-services/#BridgeLoanInfo" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderlife Financial Services</a>&nbsp;provides&nbsp;bridge loans to&nbsp;seniors&nbsp;who need help paying&nbsp;for long-term care. Up to six family members can apply&nbsp;to improve the&nbsp;chance of approval and share the costs. An&nbsp;Elderlife&nbsp;loan&nbsp;is meant as a temporary solution to pay for assisted living, so lenders&nbsp;typically ask for a plan for permanent funding prior to granting a loan. This may be a good option for&nbsp;families waiting for other resources to come through, including&nbsp;VA loans&nbsp;or&nbsp;a reverse annuity mortgage. Repayment schedules are graduated so&nbsp; payments increase over time, which gives family members an opportunity to absorb the cost or repay the loan once permanent funding is in place.&nbsp;For more information or to apply, call&nbsp;(888) 228-4500.

Memory Care:

Memory Care is a specific form of long-term care that caters to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other kinds of memory loss challenges. As the mind deteriorates, a person suffering from memory loss will eventually become unaware of their condition. They will require the help of other people to stay safe and remain physically and mentally active. They will need help and support with thinking, making decisions, and completing the activities of daily living. For these reasons and more, dealing with memory loss can have a significant impact on the lives of families and loved ones. It is important to have a strong support system in place for your loved one that includes specially trained professionals that can provide around the clock supervision and assistance.To learn more about this provider’s license and review other available state reports, please visit: <a data-id="state-license-link" href="https://www.flareslive.com/portal/SearchFacility.aspx"target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Idaho Department of Health and Welfare Facility Licensing and Regulatory Enforcement System</a>
