But that number is just the base. Doing a resident's laundry often generates a separate charge. CR's table shows how extra charges can boost the cost of a month's care. If a facility gives a range of rates for semiprivate rooms, we use the lowest daily rate.
Dashes mean the facility charges one inclusive price for each level of care.
The daily rate gives no clue to the total cost when a facility loads on the extras. The two highest daily rates at the Maryland facilities that added extra charges are at Bon Secours and Shady Grove Adventist. But Bon Secours had one of the lowest totals of extra charges and Shady Grove the highest. Physical, occupational and speech therapy cost extra too. Prices are usually quoted as price per unit of treatment, which often lasts 15 minutes.
