Seniors make up a large part of our population and their health is not something that can be taken lightly. They not only need, but also deserve, proper attention directed towards their well-being, especially when illnesses like Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke, and the like are becoming more common with each passing day. However, that is not the case. Seniors, instead of gaining more benefits due to their handicaps and disabilities, actually face more problems. Many of these problems mostly revolve around financial aspects; senior care costs are unimaginably high, going as far as $5,000 or even more for just a month, and not all seniors have the monetary conditions to pay for such high costing senior care. Corporate facilities, especially, are extremely expensive. All their services are costly – memory care fees being about $6,000 monthly and in-home care charging hourly rates for no less than $25 per hour.
