The type of care seniors need plays a large role in how much they pay each month, and this holds true in West Bloomfield. Adult day health services provided on weekdays in a group care center average only $1,517 per month. Prices for assisted living and in-home services range from $4,224 to $4,528 per month, while skilled nursing home care is more than double these amounts at an average cost of $9,095.
