Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart

A number of factors contribute to the cost of senior care, such as the type of care, whether room and board is included and a locale’s average cost of living. As with most other areas in Florida, nursing home care costs are more than double&nbsp;the price of assisted living in Fort Lauderdale.&nbsp; Home-based senior care services, such as a home health aide or homemaker, cost about the same as assisted living. However, it’s important to recognize that assisted living prices include accommodation and&nbsp;meals. Seniors who remain in their homes need to budget for ongoing expenses, such as utilities, groceries, property taxes and HOA fees in addition to senior care costs.&nbsp; Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart 
<li>Assisted living: $3,350</li>
