Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Paramus

The monthly cost of senior care in Paramus spans a wide range; from a low of $1,950 for adult day health services to a whopping $12,091 for nursing home care. These price differences are largely due to the type and level of care, the setting and whether skilled services are offered.

One of the key aspects to consider when comparing different options is that residential senior care facilities typically include room and board in their rates. With adult day health care and in-home services, including home health aides and homemakers, seniors should plan for additional expenses related to running a household, such as utilities, maintenance, property taxes and food.
