Anyone else get a surprise rate hike from their assisted living or nursing home? In 2026, providers are quietly raising monthly rates—sometimes by 4-8%! Blame it on packed facilities, staffing shortages, and sneaky “acuity level” surcharges. Even the “prime location” rooms are getting airline-style dynamic pricing. If you spot a big increase, ask for a breakdown and see if you can negotiate a rate lock. Don’t just accept the hike—fight for your wallet! #Health #BodyHealth #SeniorLiving
