Bismarck Continuing Care Retirement Communities

There are many facilities available that offer care to the elderly and handicapped that offer care that falls in between hospital care and independence. The necessity for such assisted living care can be the result of simply age, disability or illness such as a stroke. Assisted living facilities across the country provide care and education to patients in an attempt to get them to a place where they can live as independently as possible. While some patients of assisted living will eventually return to their homes or independent senior apartments, others will remain in assisted living facilities that are constructed more like apartments than a hospital setting. This type of permanent residence will provide services to your loved one that will make their life a little easier. The facility will provide at least two meals a day as well as housekeeping services and some form of personal care attendant or CNA to help them with activities of daily living.

North Dakota is a small town type of state. The closest city with over 200,000 residents is Minneapolis, MN and that is almost 400 miles away from Bismarck. One of the nice elements of small town living is that the cost of living is much less than in other areas. For instance, the cost of one month in an assisted living facility in MN is almost $3200. Compare that with the state median cost of North Dakota of $2700 for a private, one bedroom assisted living apartment. Bismarck is slightly more than the state average because it is one of the larger cities of the state.
