At $3,863 per month, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">average monthly cost</a> for assisted living in Conroe is just $68 over the Texas average ($3,795) and $137 less than the countrywide&nbsp;median of $4,000. Assisted living rates are similar in some southern Texas cities, including Beaumont ($3,900) and College Station ($3,995), but the cost trends upward in&nbsp;Killeen ($4,053) and Victoria ($4,370).

Assisted Living Costs in Conroe

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Geographic location has a major influence on the price of senior care, but the type of care chosen is also a key factor. In Conroe, the average monthly rate for assisted living is almost three times the cost of adult day health services ($1,300). Skilled, 24-hour care in a nursing home averages $5,095 per month, which is over $1,200 more expensive than assisted living. For $3,909 and $4,099, respectively, seniors can receive care services at home from a homemaker or home health aide. While these rates seem fairly comparable with the cost of assisted living, seniors who choose in-home care are still responsible for expenses, such as utilities, groceries, property taxes and upkeep. Housing and food-related expenses are usually included in assisted living fees under room and board.

<li>Be aged 64 or younger with a disability that persists for at least one year</li>
<li>Have a monthly income of $2,313 or less and resources of $2,000 or less as an individual</li>
