Deciding to place a loved one in an assisted living facility is tough — and that’s without taking into account the often arduous process of finding the right program, figuring out insurance coverage and dealing with other complex logistics. And then there’s the question of money: Assisting living and memory care centers cost about $5,000 to $7,000 per month — a sizable price tag for families even with comfortable incomes.
. The state says it plans to clear the waitlist or at least reduce it substantively by Feb. 28, 2024.“We’re operating under water. It’s not sustainable. It is a full-time job to care for a parent. Unless you’ve done it, you can’t wrap your head around it.” Kelsey McQuaid-Craig, a Sacramento County resident who with her husband Brandon cares for his 67-year-old mother Mary:
“We had to file a self-neglect case because there is no abuse, but we also are running up on not being able to take care of her for much longer. Unfortunately, that was the only way to move her up .”
