The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Senior care prices are based on a variety of factors including the type of care provided, the local cost of living and the number of facilities and services in the area.&nbsp; In New Port Richey,&nbsp;the most expensive option is nursing home care, which is more than twice the cost of assisted living. This is because nursing homes provide around-the-clock supervision, skilled nursing and additional services such as medication administration, which aren’t generally included with assisted living. In-home services from a homemaker or home health aide are also priced higher than assisted living.&nbsp;
