Pricing varies widely by city, apartment size, and the level of personal-care services needed. Most communities charge a base rate plus an a-la-carte fee for each additional service. Medicare does not pay for assisted living; Medicaid sometimes does in specific waiver programs that vary by state.
Louisiana has a cost of living that's slightly below the national average. However, one area it excels in is its housing and utilities, which are over 13 points below the national average. With that said, every other part of Louisiana is cheaper. Even the average rent is more affordable in this state than the rest of the US. That's a rarity. Of course, it can depend on where you're moving to, but Louisiana overall has a better cost of living than most states. So visit it and see what the fuss is about in this state. Louisiana's cost-of-living index is 93.9 (100 = US average). The median home price is around $163,100. Average rent runs about $866 a month.
Assisted living fits seniors who are mostly independent but need some help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, or meal preparation. It's not the right level of care for someone who needs 24-hour skilled nursing or active medical treatment. If memory loss is a primary concern, look at memory care first.
