The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Senior care costs in the city of Baltimore vary widely from an average of just $1,880 per month for weekday-only adult day health services to $9,733 for round-the-clock skilled nursing home care. These drastic price differences are primarily related to the level of care provided. At $4,250, the monthly price of assisted living is on par with home health aide services ($4,242) and about $250 more than homemaker services. Seniors comparing their options should keep in mind that rates for in-home care are based on 44 service hours per week and don’t cover food and housing-related expenses. In contrast, the rate for assisted living includes room and board, which covers meals and accommodations.
