Board and Care Facilities
Financial issues
Typically, the cost of board-and-care facilities is modest when compared with other assisted-living options or nursing homes. However, the cost varies widely, from several hundred dollars a month to several thousand, and is typically paid for with private funds. However, many states are developing programs to provide financial support for this type of care if it is a better way to meet the person's needs and preferences than nursing home care.
