The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

There are a wide range of senior care options available in Studio City, and the price of each option&nbsp;reflects the level of care provided. At $7,604 per month for a semiprivate room, nursing home care is the most expensive senior care service in Studio City because it involves 24/7 medical care. By&nbsp;comparison, adult day health services are the least expensive because this option&nbsp;involves nonmedical care in a group setting&nbsp;during weekdays only.&nbsp; Assisted living costs $4,500 per month, which is $267 less than either a home health aide or homemaker service. Not only does assisted living cost less than in-home care, but it includes room and board along with most daily living expenses, such as utilities, home maintenance and groceries.&nbsp;
