Assisted retirement living could cost approximately 60,000 a year in 2024.
In Asian culture, the idea of placing an elderly loved one in a nursing home may not be well-received. However, caring for an aging individual is a full-time commitment, and not everyone can stay at home and provide full-time care. This is where the concept of assisted living comes into play, ensuring that the elderly person is comfortably cared for. The average monthly cost for a semi-private room with basic care services is RM2000. A private room with professional and specialized healthcare provided by trained nurses and in-house doctors can cost up to RM8000 a month. Additional services like diapers may incur separate charges.
