Reply to comment by mxvu in How much is memory care or Assisted living in NJ? by mxvu

Yes i think it started at 8-8.5k but was 9 by the end. This was for a single room. When they get on medicade and cant pay they get moved into a shared room that looks similar to a hotel room or college dorm. No experience with medicade though

Did your person use Medicare to cover some of the cost?

used medicare as much as possible along with their pension which covered some things. but there was also some financial planning and many tricks used years before they went into nursing home. I recommend speaking to an elder lawyer about the financial planning otherwise medicare/medicaid will take everything they have.
