Assisted Living Costs in Dunedin

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Senior care costs are based on the type of care provided, location and number of direct service hours. In Dunedin, nursing home care is more than double the price of in-home care services and assisted living because nursing homes provide around-the-clock skilled nursing for seniors who often have complex medical needs.&nbsp; Assisted living, which includes room and board, costs less than either&nbsp; homemaker or home health aide based on 44 hours per week of care. Adult day health services are the least expensive option; however, these services are delivered in a group setting in the community for between 5 and 8 hours on weekdays and don’t include any in-home care or assistance.&nbsp;
