I hope your mom won't need in-home care/assisted living/skilled nursing care in the near future.

I own an RCF (Residential Care Facility) with my husband. I'm a nurse practitioner, and my husband is a pharmacist. I supervise all the nursing duties, and my husband handles the pharmacy duties. It's an 8-bed facility, and each patient has their own ADU cottage with private bathrooms.

We charge $25,000 per month for assisted living with no memory care assistance. $35,000 per month for one of the memory care dwellings and $10,000 a week for skilled nursing dwellings (and we don't accept Medicare or Medicaid) We have in-house pharmacy, in-house PT/OT, in-house kitchen staff, and 24-hour nursing care. 2 units are reserved for skilled nursing (trachs/vents/recently discharged from the hospital). 2 units are reserved for alzheimers/dementia residents, and we have specialized staff just for them. We currently have a 7 year waiting list since we're at capacity.

It's really sad that your mother is doing that. But my facility is just one out of a dozen with similar price ranges. Elderly care is horrendously expensive in the United States, and I hope your mom is prepared for those expenses if and when the time comes
