An article has been circulating in the media lately called 'Why Senior Housing Prices Are Impossible to Find' which discusses the lack of pricing information available on senior living websites. This lack of transparency is frustrating to viewers and poses the question, "why can't senior living companies just post pricing information on the website?"

It’s understandable why this question is commonly asked. Seniors and families go online with the intention to find pricing. Many believe that senior living companies withhold pricing so that they do not scare away potential residents.

Pricing for senior living can be complex and wide-ranging. It is an emotional life decision that requires personalization. As a result, it's often difficult to provide exact pricing to a senior or family member without first understanding his or her needs.  There’s a wide range of options among care types, services, dining and floor plans.

Typically, rental senior living communities offer a monthly base rent that includes dining, housekeeping, transportation, maintenance, social events, and utilities. In addition to the monthly rent, there may be care services added if the resident needs Assisted Living or Memory Care services. Allegro offers customized care plans tailored to each resident’s needs. Without first personally communicating with the resident or family member regarding their individual needs, it's difficult to provide accurate pricing.

Allegro's Approach to Pricing on the Website

Allegro offers starting prices on our website for all communities. We intend to give our viewers the information they need.  These prices do not include care. According to Caring.com, the average monthly cost in the United States for Senior Living is $3,600. Pricing will vary depending on the size of an apartment, services the community offers, local market and care needs.

Allegro's teams are educated to be Senior Living Advisors. As part of their role as an advisor, our associates work to understand everyone's needs before providing a recommendation or pricing.  We also partner with our nurses and the person’s family physician to best evaluate needs. In this process, our Senior Living Advisors can determine an accurate cost based solely on the individual's needs. It is not our intention to mislead or withhold pricing information on our website. But to offer starting ranges with the goal of providing more precise costs after we learn more.

As the digital landscape changes, Allegro will continue to evolve online to meet the demands of our prospects and families. Part of this will involve seeking out conversations and getting to know each individual on a personal level.

Our Reviews Speak for Themselves

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this assisted living and memory care facility. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were treated like family. The staff is incredibly kind, compassionate, and attentive, and it’s obvious that they truly care about every resident. I had a family member in the memory care unit, and knowing they were safe, respected, and genuinely cared for gave our family so much peace of mind. The caregivers were patient, loving, and always took the time to make sure my loved one was comfortable and happy. They treated them with dignity and kindness every single day. The facility is clean, welcoming, and well-maintained, and the activities and engagement provided for the residents are wonderful. The communication from the staff was excellent, and they always kept our family informed and answered any questions we had.

My mother has been a resident of Spring Arbor of Crofton for over 3 years, and my family has never second-guessed this decision. She has always received exceptional care by professional, competent, and compassionate staff. The director, Ginger Martin, and her staff do an excellent job of creating a safe, loving and attentive environment for all residents. They treat each resident and their family with care and respect. We consider them our extended family. There are numerous daily activities led by engaging and fun staff to keep loved ones physically, socially, and intellectually stimulated. The facility and resident apartments are kept clean and well maintained. I have recommended Spring Arbor of Crofton to several other families and they too have been extremely pleased with the care their loved ones are receiving.
