While I have always lived life in the fast lane, there will be a time with traffic builds up and I will need to slow down a bit.<\/p>\n

Several people are interested in creating a place that would offer housing and services for those of us who wish to remain here for the rest of their lives, in an environment that is SAFE and COMFORTABLE, when they are no longer able to live independently.<\/p>\n

For more information on this new venture contact Penny Ripple\u00a0 at pennyripple@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

And while I am still in the fast lane I live by Christopher Walkin’s feeling about life.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you\u2019re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There\u2019s no time for anything else.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When shopping for an assisted living<\/a> community for your loved one, sticker shock is a common condition.<\/p>\n

A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors frequently hear the refrain “That’s so much more expensive than just living at home.” In some situations, assisted living does cost more than living at home, but in most cases, total assisted living costs are significantly less than in-home care costs.<\/p>\n

Assisted Living Costs by State<\/h2>\n

Just like any market for real estate or goods and services, price depends heavilty on local supply and demand. In particularly remote areas, assisted living costs may be higher than average due to low availability of accommodations. On the other side of the coin, costs may be higher than average in densely populated areas due to the high costs of real estate and staff salaries.<\/p>\n

The U.S. states with the most expensive<\/strong> median monthly assisted living costs are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Alaska – $6,000<\/li>\n
  2. New Jersey – $5,994<\/li>\n
  3. Delaware – $5,533<\/li>\n
  4. Connecticut – $5,000<\/li>\n
  5. Massachusetts – $4,950<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The U.S. states with the least expensive<\/strong> median monthly assisted living costs are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Missouri – $2,288<\/li>\n
    2. Alabama – $2,600<\/li>\n
    3. Georgia – $2,703<\/li>\n
    4. Kentucky – $2,720<\/li>\n
    5. Michigan – $2,850<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Other Factors in Assisted Living Costs<\/h2>\n

      While location is an important factor in assisted living costs, there are several other considerations that can play a big role in the bottom line:<\/p>\n
