Margate is a Broward County city about 12 minutes west of Pompano Beach that's home to 58,000+ residents. The city's elderly comprise 23.3% of the population, which is above the national average of 16.8%. Margate has very low crime rates, excellent medical facilities and lower-than-average health care costs.
Seniors unable to perform activities of daily living, such as personal care, may find assisted living beneficial. Assisted living primarily offers nonmedical care but some facilities provide limited medical services and all manage their residents' medications. Meals are usually chef-prepared and cater to specific diets and housekeepers ensure residents' rooms, laundry and linens are fresh and clean. There are group activities designed to engage the mind, exercise the body and provide emotional/spiritual well-being, and it's common for residents to go on day trips. Margate's median monthly fee for assisted living is $4,385, which is more than Florida's but more affordable than the U.S. average.
With this guide, readers can learn about the pros and cons of living in Margate and compare the costs of assisted living with alternative types of care. They can also discover different ways to pay for care and find free and low-cost resources for seniors.

READ MOREThe Bureau of Health Facility Regulation is responsible for ensuring Florida's assisted living facilities adhere to minimum standards. It issues licenses to those that satisfy strict criteria, such as compliance with staff qualifications and safety regulations, and it revokes them from those that let their standards drop. The bureau can make surprise inspections and take action on registered complaints.

At $4,385, home health care's median fee is equal to assisted living but doesn't include accommodations, meals and 24/7 care, which is provided by assisted living. In-home care is more affordable, at $4,195, but it also doesn't offer most services included with assisted living. Neither does adult day care, although its median fee of $1,517 is much more affordable than the other options. Nursing homes provide the same care levels as assisted living, but, because they also provide additional medical care, the median fee is much higher, at $9,019.
