In Greeley, the monthly cost of senior care varies based on the type of care a senior requires. For a semiprivate room in a nursing home, seniors pay an average of $8,578 per month, about $4,900 more than assisted living. Homemaker services and home health aides both cost $4,624 per month, about $950 more than assisted living. Seniors should note that these prices only include the cost of care itself, not all the other costs associated with staying at home, including rent, groceries and utilities. Depending on a senior’s individual budget, in-home care may end up being significantly more expensive than assisted living.
