So according to the 2015 "cost of care" published by Genworth, the Alabama state median is $3,075/month for a (private) one bedroom assisted living facility. In Mobile AL, the same setting is $3553/month. Highest in Alabama was in Anniston at $4150 and the lowest was Gadsden coming in at $2503. These are average costs for the area where some might be higher or lower. Please contact the facilities in the area and discuss their policies with them about "around the clock care". Some are managed/billed differently than others. Other options might be to hire a home care company to offset the skills and or the hours that the facility doesn't cover. This would be an added expense. I hope this helps.

Between $3,500 and $6,000 a month, depending on the facility. If you were to hire enough help to do assisted living at home, it would be over $120,000 a year!

The estimated monthly cost of an assisted living facility depends on the state you live in and the type of services you need. On the higher end of the spectrum (ie.

The estimated monthly cost of an assisted living facility depends on the state you live in and the type of services you need. On the higher end of the spectrum (ie. Alzheimer / dementia care) can cost up to $10,000/month for a private room depending on location. The lower end of monthly cost can be as low as $2,000 for a shared room depending on limited service needs and state.
