Costs For Senior Care

Last Updated: February 11, 2019

Ask a group of family members or friends about the challenges they faced while finding care for their parents or senior loved ones, as I did recently, and one of the things they’ll mention is difficulty learning what senior care will cost. Many people have to visit each place to get all the costs. At Bee Well, we organize all of the costs and all the factors to help determine the best arrangement for you and your loved one.

While visiting the senior living communities you’re interested in is an important part of the decision-making process, there are some online resources that will give you a clearer idea of senior care costs.

The first thing you can do is speak to a consultant at Bee Well to determine what budget you have. Then, your personal consultant will help inform you of the places or home care businesses that best fit your budget. Bee Well Consultants have lots of information on individual senior living communities all across New York and our complimentary service will help you to determine what's best. for you.

We not only help to check out prices, but we can also review each community’s list of services; review home care businesses and read user reviews to make your comparisons easier. A community with higher monthly rates may be worth the extra money if it has good reviews and provides services your parents or senior loved ones want, like free transportation, onsite physical therapy or pet-friendly accommodations.

The right fit

Another way Bee Well can help determine senior costs is to review finances with a senior financial advisor. Your Bee Well Consultant will provide a list of advisors that can help you to choose the best advisor. It may be a good time to review everything with an Estate Attorney as well. Bee Well Consultants provide you with all options and costs involved so you can make an informed decision.

Our consultants will help you narrow your lists of services and will be able to give you up-to-date details of deposit and lease costs in writing, along with a list of services that are included in the monthly fee and those that are add-ons. Your consultant will help determining Medicaid or Veterans Aid funds too.
