Are You or a Loved One in Need of Daily Care?

If you or a loved one is in need of daily care to ensure your safety and wellbeing, you may be weighing options such as in-home care services versus assisted living.  Most experts suggest a good way to start is to make a list of all the areas in which you or your loved one needs assistance with on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. 

From a strictly affordable standpoint (we know there is much more to it), the rule of thumb to determine if in-home care services or an assisted living community is less expensive is does the person requires more than 40 hours of paid care a week?  If that’s the case, then assisted living is most likely cheaper. 

Also remember that in-home care is a piecemeal approach and each additional service you need adds to the cost of care.  Moreover, in an assisted living community like MorningStar at Jordan, individuals receive 24/7 care from our compassionate, trained care managers in the activities of daily living (ADL).  Another benefit of our community is it is designed to accommodate wheel chairs and other mobile aids as well as has bathrooms equipped with handicap grab bars, and suites equipped with emergency call systems. 

Many people get sticker shock when they learn how much they will pay for assisted living, but you need to remember that virtually all your living expenses including food as well as care services are factored in.  No longer will you pay out-of-pocket for home insurance, property taxes, heat, electricity, trash pickup, cable, and Internet service.  In addition, you will not be hit with unexpected repair bills and routine upkeep on your home. 

Other services and amenities provided by MorningStar at Jordan include a fitness and wellness center, a movie theatre, beautifully prepared meals served restaurant-style, enrichment activities, and more.  However, we consider our most important asset to be our dedicated staff and their devotion to our residents.  Please visit our website to learn more about our wonderful assisted living and memory care community and all we are doing to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our residents during COVID-19.
