Average monthly rates are highest in the Minneapolis area ($4,425) and lowest in Rochester ($3,770) and St. Cloud ($3,716). Although Mankato&nbsp;is the smallest city surveyed at $4,393, rates here are only a&nbsp;bit lower than in Minneapolis and just above those in Duluth, where assisted living averages $4,250 per month. The cost in Mankato also tops the identical state and national monthly averages of $4,000.

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The Genworth study also shows that nursing homes are the most expensive senior care option in Mankato. Adult day health services are about one-fifth the cost, but they only provide services Monday through Friday in a daytime care center. Assisted living rates are over $5,500 less than nursing home care and over $1,000 less than in-home services. Nursing homes offer specialized, round-the-clock services, which helps justify the higher cost. Seniors who choose in-home care must still pay household operating expenses on top of the amount paid for provided services, which increases the overall cost.&nbsp;In contrast, monthly assisted living facility fees&nbsp;usually include room and board.
