One of the first questions every family asks is: how much does a residence for an older adult cost? The honest answer is "it depends," because the price reflects the level of care each person needs. Here's what drives it, so you can compare clearly.
What the cost usually includes
In a good residence, the monthly fee normally covers:
- Lodging in a room and use of facilities.
- Balanced meals (several per day).
- Personal care and support.
- Nursing staff and supervision.
- Activities and companionship.
- Services such as laundry.
Always ask what's included and what's charged separately (diapers, medication, special therapies, transportation).
Factors that change the price
- Level of care: an independent older adult is not the same as one who needs intensive nursing.
- Room type: private or shared.
- Health condition: reduced mobility, cognitive decline or special care.
- Type of stay: permanent or temporary.
Permanent vs. temporary
At Casa Palmira, temporary stays have the same monthly fee as permanent ones, with a one-month minimum; we do not offer daily or weekly stays. If you only need support during a recovery or a trip, ask about this option.
How to get a quote with no surprises
The best price isn't always the lowest: look for transparency and care that matches what your loved one truly needs. The clearest way to know your cost is through an assessment, so the fee fits the actual care.
At Casa Palmira we publish our monthly fees: $15,000 MXN for a shared room and $18,500 MXN for a private room, with 24/7 nursing, medical care and meals included. See what each option includes.
