Assisted and Independent Living

The decision to live in an assisted living or independent living facility is often a difficult one.  In many cases, this will be the first time the individual will be living somewhere other than home.  There is an inevitable sense of loss.  Yet for many elderly people, this is the right move — they will be able to receive the services they need while still living an independent life.

The individual and family must also make financial arrangements to pay for the cost of care. This can be very complicated. Done improperly, it can be costly and can consume a large portion of the person’s estate.
