Tom Bennett had just celebrated 50 years of marriage when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived. His wife, a long-time cancer survivor, contracted the virus and sadly passed away, leaving Tom with a large, empty house and children living several states away.

With a family history of dementia, his children were attentive to potential symptoms. Initially, they thought Tom’s confusion and withdrawal were signs of grief. However, after a few months, a medical checkup confirmed early signs of dementia. Recognizing that a supportive, engaging environment would benefit him, Tom and his family decided it was best for him to move into a dementia care assisted living facility.

Tom’s diagnosis was dementia, and his family wanted him to be surrounded by new friends and activities that could help maintain his cognitive function. They prioritized his comfort and safety, knowing it was important for him to be familiar with his surroundings as his condition progressed.

Payment Plan: Tom’s care is supported by a combination of his retirement savings, Social Security benefits, and a pension. His children oversee his financial affairs, ensuring he remains comfortable and well cared for.

Price: $4,700 (Studio Room + Level 1 Care)
