In our commitment to transparency, we gathered up-to-date pricing information directly through a comprehensive interview with this community on Dec. 13, 2023. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Pricing Information
Our pricing starts at about $7,000 a month. That is all inclusive. We don't do tiers of care.
Respite Care
We offer respites, but that's kind of on a case-by-case basis. We would just price it out based on the $7,000 a month, so whatever that would come out to as long as their length of stay. So if they stayed a month, obviously, that would be $7,000. Anywhere from $7,000 to $8,000 a month would be our pricing.
