Compared to other types of senior care, assisted living is one of the most affordable options in New Castle. Nursing homes charge over $5,500 more per month on average. The 24-hour skilled nursing and other extra care services provided by these facilities explain this drastic price difference. The average rate for homemaker and home health aide services provided in seniors’ own homes is about $1,300 higher than the price for assisted living. A comparison of what’s covered in the rates reveals that the true price difference is much greater. Rates for in-home care only cover actual service hours, whereas assisted living generally includes housing and meals. Seniors staying at home have to pay household operating expenses on top of the cost of care services.
