The regulations that go along with assisted care are unbelievable and constitute literal volumes and volumes (or for the computer literate megabyte after megabyte) of confusing and often contradictory guidelines and regulations and rules and recommendations which must be followed at all times, whether the patient needs or desires said rules and regulations or not. People are employed in these institutions full-time and never touch a human being, all they do is shuffle paper, deal with regulators, and try to keep the place open. What isn’t regulated by local government is regulated by the state and if the state doesn’t cover it it’s regulated by the feds. Add the fact that all regulations are subject to change at any point in time and hospital administrators or care home administrators are required to know of these changes immediately and implement them immediately, as the recent Covid debacle was quick to highlight. So when you’re figuring out the cost it turns out that the actual physical care is far far less than keeping up with the local bureaucrats. A sad state of affairs…MongoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-37348322388074222892022-05-08T23:25:50.075-04:002022-05-08T23:25:50.075-04:00The Mrs. spent a lot a of time taking care of her ...The Mrs. spent a lot a of time taking care of her mother - which was (I think) preferable for all that she could do that.John Wilderhttps://wilderwealthywise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-69473621604987865592022-05-08T21:26:11.476-04:002022-05-08T21:26:11.476-04:00ERJ - For my parents in their assisted living faci...ERJ - For my parents in their assisted living facility, it runs around $7,000 each.

He recently fell and needed hip replacement. 21 days at an in-patient rehab facility were covered 100% by tri-care/medicaid. 2 beds to a room, 1 nurse for 4 rooms. <br />Now he has been discharged from facility and getting 24/7 in-home help. Home health aides I believe (whatever that certification is worth). They are doing a million times better than him being in the home. Unfortunately its a luxury at ~700/day...<br />Can't take it with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-77764498096633054392022-05-08T18:56:01.173-04:002022-05-08T18:56:01.173-04:00I think we'll all be "taking care of our ...I think we'll all be "taking care of our own" in the days to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
