Wasn't sure how to title this or even what topic to post it in but I'm wondering if any of you know the cost of in home care, or care in a retirement facility? My Dad is 93 and really quite healthy, heart is fine, etc. He's likely to live awhile yet and more likely to die of old age as anything else. He lives by himself, 7 houses down the street from me. I do all his housework and anything else he needs. He is slowing down and someday soon may need some in home help or maybe move into a senior living place with help. My question is does anybody have a general idea of what the costs may be? I know it depends on the level of care, etc but just looking for a ball park figure.
I was going to retire in June at 60, but now thinking of holding on for another year or two in case he needs help with these expenses. I don't want him ending up in a medicare type nursing home if at all possible. He has enough income to pay the yearly fee for a senior living place if need be, but what would the added cost be if he needed in room care also.
