READ MOREAccording to the Genworth 2018 Cost of Care study, the average cost of assisted living in Kosciusko County is $2,978 a month, which is approximately $1,400 less than the state average. Kosciusko County is the most affordable of all areas for assisted living in Indiana that were indexed in the study.
The most expensive areas in the state for assisted living are Lafayette and Indianapolis, with average monthly costs of $5,205 and $5,053, respectively.
Note: Senior care cost data wasn’t available for Kosciusko County, so data for the closest city, Fort Wayne, was used.
Assisted living is relatively affordable in Kosciusko County compared to both state and national averages, which creates a large price gap between other levels of care. Nursing homes cost more than twice as much as assisted living, although it is generally easier to get financial assistance for nursing care. Homemakers and home health aides are both substantially more expensive than assisted living — over $1,000 in either case. This added expense is compounded by common household costs, such as food and utilities, which are included in the monthly bill for assisted living.
