Volunteering in an assisted living might be doing a craft project or visiting or playing cards. It is not doing labor. Rates probably start for basic studio and no services at $3800 a month or so, with meals. Not sure but that would be about in the ball park. Can go up to $10,000 for full time personal care with memory care I would estimate.

"People pay a lot of $$$$ to live in all the high end assisted livings"
everywhere across the USA!!!
I have relatives who live in such facilities in two different states up north, and the prices are about the same as Sumter Grande. Newsflash:
It's their money and they earned and saved and
manage it to last so they don't have to go on the public dole!
At the same time, I hear of a nasty old lady who squandered (here) all the money she and nasty husband amassed in NYC, and to stay in facilities here, she makes up phony reasons to SUE businesses here to extort them into paying her $15-20,000 which is less than the defendant's cost of starting the engines of lawyering the case for years.
It's
extortion and she's on her 3rd or 4th lawsuit here, with one being an assisted living where she got booted for lengthy non-payment, and two being restaurants in TV. Her nasty "kids" in Miami have nothing to do with her now that she's penniless. Now she's been kicked out enough times that she's in a dumpier place that's cheaper, but she will find reasons to sue them, too.
Lawyers always seem to be available for such grifters!
I'm sure she's not the only one here in TV who sues people to extort money based on lies so they can live in a facility here.
So: I appreciate people who pay their own bills for a place like Sumter Grande....which probably has to spend a
fortune on malpractice and liability insurance and attorneys!
