Assisted living is a type of senior care suitable for older adults with various non-medical needs. Residents include those who only need someone nearby in case they want help and those who require regular assistance with daily tasks, such as dressing and bathing. The facilities are also suitable for seniors who like to socialize within their age group and get three chef-prepared meals daily and their rooms cleaned by housekeeping staff. Each facility has its own fees, but seniors considering assisted living can expect them to be in the region of $5,475 per month, which is slightly above California’s average.
This guide compares assisted living costs in Palm Springs and nearby cities. It also discusses ways to pay and links to free resources for seniors in the city.
