Assisted Living Costs in Wichita

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Certain factors cause the price variances that exist&nbsp;between available senior care options in Wichita. Largely, they relate to the extent of care required and whether a senior lives at home or in a residential facility. Assisted living communities ($4,728) and nursing homes ($5,475) provide care in residential settings and include room and board. The 24-hour skilled nursing care offered in nursing homes results in a moderate $750 price increase compared to assisted living. Adult day health services ($1,934) and in-home care services ($4,195) are notably less expensive than assisted living, but neither include room and board. With these two care options, seniors live at home and have to pay their own household operating bills and buy groceries. These expenses aren’t&nbsp;included in the monthly rates paid, which only cover the service hours of care provided.
