The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The monthly price of long-term care varies depending on the type of services desired. Adult day health services are significantly less expensive than other options&nbsp;at just $1,679 per month. At $3,500, assisted living may seem expensive in comparison, but seniors who live in nursing homes pay more than twice that amount. Seniors who want to stay at home may consider homemaker or home health aide services, which cost an average of $4,957 per month. These options cost&nbsp;significantly more than assisted living, since they only include the cost of care itself. Seniors who remain at home are still responsible for household operating expenses, such as mortgage payments, maintenance, utilities, groceries and property taxes.
