Lifestyle preferences and budget are two important factors to consider when deciding between
assisted living and home care. Assisted living provides housing, daily meals and snacks and personal care, along with social and recreational programs to promote lifelong learning and prevent isolation. In Delafield, this option costs $5,324 per month, making it relatively affordable. Home care is for those who want to remain in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. With this care option, seniors can select their own caregivers and have greater control over their schedule and environment. It’s costlier than assisted living at $6,101 per month, not including living expenses, such as food, housing and utilities.
