What to expect in Fort Lauderdale

• 2026 monthly pricing range: $3,200–$7,800 depending on level of care, room type, and whether the facility is a small board-and-care home or a larger community.
• Typical wait time for placement: when a move isn't urgent, plan on 3–14 days — but hospital discharges and memory-care openings move fast, from same-day up to 72 hours.
• What's included: a room, three meals a day, and 24/7 staff, plus housekeeping, scheduled transport, social programming, and a basic care plan. Memory care adds secured units and dementia-trained staff.
• What's extra: one-on-one aide hours, on-site hospice, special-diet prep, and any medication management beyond a basic tier.
