/by Moti GamburdPaying for assisted living is a significant financial commitment that many seniors and their families must navigate carefully. However, there’s good news: many of the expenses associated with assisted living are tax deductible.
These deductions can provide flexibility in your budget and help allocate funds more effectively. By understanding the criteria and keeping thorough records, you can maximize potential tax savings.
/by Moti GamburdChoosing a thoughtful gift for a loved one in assisted living can be challenging. Unlike traditional gift-giving, it’s important to consider their living space, daily routines, and what will bring them comfort and happiness. Whether celebrating a birthday, holiday, or simply wanting to brighten their day, the best gifts focus on practicality, sentimentality, and enhancing their quality of life.
/by Moti GamburdWhen families first explore assisted living, they are often surprised by the price. The initial reaction may be that it’s too expensive, especially compared to having a senior remain at home. However, this assumption doesn’t always reflect reality. To truly assess the value of assisted living, it’s essential to compare it with the total cost of living independently, factoring in expenses like housing, utilities, food, healthcare, and home maintenance.
