Favorite 4 States for Senior Living

Is Your Assisted Living Facility Succeeding?

When seniors need support to continue their daily lives, their families want them to get the best care available. Horror stories about assisted living facilities can be found all over the internet. Family members have calculated how much it will cost for placement. They’ve weighed the costs and benefits of having their loved ones further away than before. Created using several different sources, here are the top 4 states for assisted living:

1. South Dakota

The average national monthly cost of an assisted living facility is $3,670 with numbers skewing on either side. South Dakota’s monthly average is approximately $3,440 with some areas going into the $2,000 range. This makes South Dakota one of the most affordable states for seniors to settle, which is often times on of their biggest worries.

2. Missouri

Assisted living facilities can be a little complicated. Federal oversight is minimal and so each state has the right to regulate as they see fit. This can lead to extreme cases of neglect. Missouri has legislation in place that requires inspections twice per year, the only state to inspect their facilities with that amount of regularity. This allows seniors and their loved ones to rest easy, knowing that they are in a place that is always performing at its best.

3. Indiana

Secrets don’t usually make friends and that is especially the case when running an assisted living facility. Indiana has ranked very highly in terms of transparency of their records. They make it very easy for family member to search any information they are looking for. Being transparent about the inner workings of a facility that supports the elderly is crucial to building trust with families and ensuring that residents continue to stay.

4. North Carolina

Unfortunately, it’s very easy for assisted living staff to become overwhelmed in the face of an overabundance of residents. This leads to chaos for the staff and the residents. Whereas some states have no specifications as to the staff to resident ratio of their facilities, North Carolina has gone out of their way to detail what the minimum ratio of staff to resident must be. They ensure that their facilities are adequately staffed at all times, noting that staff numbers must grow as the size of the facility grows. This goes a very long way to assure family members and seniors that neglect isn’t something to be worried about.
