seems like its probably still below market value.

sure but if you cant afford a 1BR, which is many people, then this is not a terrible option. Its a large price for sharing the space, but not absoletely unfathomable like you made it seem in your original post. Could totally see a new college grad that got a job in the area living with a friend or 2, each on their entry level jobs.

3BR at 4600/mo is 1535 per month per bedroom. Considering a 1BR is 1800+, youre getting at least newer construction for less than if you didnt have roommates. And if its you and 2 good friends going from your shitty college apt to this, now that everyone is working, I could see the reason why.

one day, our society will find enough courage and understanding to be able to publically celebrate christmas.

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.

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

feel free to DM if you want to discuss, i think I visited 3 or 4 places before we chose what became juniper. It includes mostly everything that occurs in the facility. Nurse on staff, single room, food, etc. doesnt cover hospital visits, ambulance, etc that occurs outside facility.

yes mine was bergen county. It's also how they phrase things. For example Sunrise specifically mentions how they do hospice service (Sunrise was most expensive at 11-12/month), and others may not do hospice service, but they can accommodate hospice coming in and doing everything (that medicare pays for). Essentially the same service, but the more expensive ones phrase it differently. My loved one ended up going to a place that was about 8-9 a month. It was a Brookdale that was bought by Juniper. We liked that it was close to family, and also that the head nurse had been working there for ~15 years consecutively. Figured if they treated their employees well enough to stay a long time, the residents are also treated well. It had its minor hiccups, but ultimately was the right place for the duration that my family member was there. Having it close enough to regularly visit (multiple times per week) is really important. If the staff knows you, they'll treat your loved one better (in my opinion).

Went through this with family in early 2020. The more expensive places were about 11k/month, the less expensive places were about 9k/month.

not true. Strangers are unlikely to make small talk with strangers, but past that, it's like making new friends in any situation. Find people with common interests, hobbies, beliefs, etc.

I bought parking in Silver Lot via the rutgers website. Assuming I can tailgate there? not a sseason ticket holder.
