jonwilly Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) 'Care Resort' is the place out at Mae Rim I can say it is a well run resort and 'Medical' retirement facility. I have a 96 year old friend who has lived there for most of this year and I visit most weeks. He is basically happy with the service and facilities and I know he receives good care and attention from the nurses and domestic staff their many of whom I have met and enjoyed a laugh with. More expensive then Dok Kaew Gardens and out of the way in very nice surroundings. john Edited October 23, 2016 by jonwilly my mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAIJAMES Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Have a look at Vivo Bene, more like resort living than depressing old people's home. Not cheap. But build based on swiss standards. Well worth considering. vivobene.co.th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap. But build based on swiss standards. Well worth considering. vivobene.co.th Hubby and I have been paying every month for long-term care insurance ever since we were in our twenties. Sadly, we never could have kids, although after living among old folks in Chiang Mai, maybe that's a blessing. Anyway, after nearly forty years of paying into a very reputable plan, our U.S. based financial adviser -- a real financial adviser, someone we pay an annual fee and not someone we "met" over the phone trying to sell us a specific investment vehicle, tells us we made a wise decision in purchasing long-term care insurance while we were still very young and continuing to maintain the policy (with a monthly payment that is peanuts, but I suppose you could overlook and let lapse). Anyway, I wish Vivo Bene all the success possible, because their fees are well below the upper limit of our long-term care insurances's policies. I look forward to the day when one of their physicians can tick off the boxes on the forms of my long-term care insurance provider and attestsI can no longer handle a significant number of the requirements of daily living and must be in their care. At that point, I can give up the rigors of posting on ThaiVisa, handling CEC meetings and cleaning out cat boxes. (It's nice that they serve wine to their residents -- a real plus.) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubby Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) this links to someone named marc's email , to send him an email, might be nice to state that in the post imho, bit pejorative to use the term 'old folks home' but up to you of course their website looks to be running at 56k baud http://vivobene.co.th/ Edited October 25, 2016 by chubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was checking a year or so ago for a friend and it was around 34k for low level care and around 10k more for high level care. The difference being whether you can wash and dress yourself. Why not go in and ask. Over the little entrance Bridge and turn left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historic area with casinos.. Do these rates include meals? The price quoted at the assisted living centers in Chiang Mai usually include three meals/day, although Vivo Bene has a two plans, one with full board and the other with "half board" whatever that is. I guess that's if you want to fix your own light breakfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
