The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

In&nbsp;Gastonia,&nbsp;senior&nbsp;care&nbsp;services&nbsp;are&nbsp;priced&nbsp;depending&nbsp;on the level of care required, staff-to-senior ratio offered and location care is received. At $6,935 per month for a semiprivate room, nursing home care is the most expensive option&nbsp;because it includes around-the-clock skilled nursing along with room-and-board in a state-licensed facility.&nbsp; Assisted living also includes room and board and costs less than in-home care from a homemaker or home health aide, based on 44 hours of service weekly. Adult day health is the least-expensive option because this service is delivered in a group setting for a limited number of hours on weekdays only.&nbsp;
