Although it is a year-round color, pastel blues, especially alongside pinks and pale yellows suggest springtime, while deep blue is a colder weather color. A deep royal shade, indigo, or azure conveys richness and perhaps even a touch of superiority in designs, while almost-black navy is a bit warmer than lighter blues.

The average stay for nursing-home residents is 28 months, and the average stay for assisted-living residents is 27 months. But many of those people receive some other kind of long-term care before or after their stay.
How Much Does Assisted Living Cost? The answer depends on the community, the size of your apartment, the number of services you need and what part of the country you live in. The Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2016 says that the national median cost for assisted living per month is $3,628, which breaks down to around $120 per day (and adds up to $43,536 per year). To put that into some context, the same survey says a private room in a nursing home will cost around $253 per day ($91,080 per year).
