Do all adult family care home request security deposit from residents? We are seeking to place a family member in an AFCH in Orlando and the rate we were quoted is $3150.00 per month for all the basic services (the room is private but shared bathroom). In addition to the first month rent, a security deposit of ½ the basic rate is also required prior to moving in. Is this (the security deposit) normal and what is the average rate for this type of facility?
Take care,
Carol
Places will negotiate down especially if you threaten to walk away.
Another option is a privately owned home that provides care for usually 1 to 5 residents. These homes are in residential neighborhoods staffed by CNAs, usually, with the residents treated as family: a home away from home. Help with ADLs. Not nursing homes. A wonderful option.
