Does that number include one meal a day in some sort of dining hall? I would hope so. I know my grandmother paid considerably less than that for a one bedroom in an assisted facility and either lunch or dinner was included. Now that was 10 years ago, but still.
According to the schedule of fees, included are: meals, housekeeping, laundry services, cable, all utilities except telephone, wifi, private thermostat control, scheduled transportation, community events, and more.
According to my calculations this should only add up to a few hundred dollars. Why the extra few thousand dollars? We had my mom In The Fountains in Granite City, she had Alzheimer’s, and only was charged approx. $2,500.00 a month and included all the services you mentioned.
Who the heck wants to pay monthly rates that high to live next to the highway with constant traffic noise? I don’t believe that ” Units are selling well”. Should have left the grounds the way it was with trees and wildlife.
Who can afford this???
It’s interesting how the yearly rates 15 years ago have become the monthly rates today. But then again, maybe the faucets are made of pure gold in this place…
