Come in and ask for a cost comparison (comparing what it is costing you in your home vs. living at Hallmark) – see for yourself how affordable it is. Costs can vary depending on the size of the suite and extra services you require. Many folks find that living at Hallmark costs much the same as living alone in their own house, where you pay your own insurance, taxes, utilities, cable, yard work, etc.

Here are good questions to ask as you tour:

• What is the daily/monthly rate? 
• What is the cost of the additional services you may need? 
• Is parking included? 
• Is there an extra charge for laundry? 
• What utilities are included? 
• How much notice is required should you need, or decide to move? 
• Do I qualify for any financial assistance such as Veteran’s Affairs assistance, S.A.F.E.R.(Shelter Aid for Elderly Residents), or do I have Long Term Care insurance?
