On Families & Children: Help me find the true cost of assisted living

Casey issued a public call for families to share their experiences navigating the assisted living landscape with the Aging Committee. Unlike nursing homes, assisted living care is largely unregulated at the federal level. "It is long past time for Congress to reexamine this model and ensure that it's meeting our nation's needs," Casey said. Citing a recent survey that found 80% of adults would not be able to afford four years in an assisted living facility, Casey appealed directly to the public to share their experiences. "I want to hear from you about the true cost of assisted living," Casey said, and urged people to submit stories to aging.senate.gov/assistedlivingbills.

Estimates for the cost of care is important to learn more about, as it can be unpredictable at assisted living facilities. "The more assistance and care a resident needs, the more they pay," said Casey. "And in some cases residents and families don't know the total cost until they receive their monthly bill."
