Carolina Gardens Senior Living At Rock Hill

Understanding the Costs of Senior Living

The cost is going to depend on the room style, whether you need Assisted Living or Memory Care, and also the Assessment that is conducted. You have your room rate, which covers the room, 3 meals a day, housekeeping, laundry, cable, wifi, utilities. Then you have your level of care charge based on the assessment (this develops the careplan to let us know the care we need to provide).
