Seniors aged 65 and older are more likely to require long-term care. Assisted living services can also provide peace of mind for healthy, independent adults by giving them access to medication reminders and one-on-one support any time it’s needed. These facilities are more flexible and more affordable than skilled nursing facilities, which provide 24-hour medical care. Locally, seniors can expect to pay $4,975 per month for assisted living, which is higher than the national average but similar to other parts of the state.
In this guide, seniors will find information about the benefits and drawbacks of living in Gladstone, along with information about assisted living prices locally and across the region. The guide concludes with a directory of local agencies that connect older adults to supportive services to help them age as independently as possible.
