Assisted Living Costs in Tacoma

Aside from adult day health services, assisted living is one of the least expensive types of senior care in Tacoma. At&nbsp;$9,064, 24-hour skilled nursing home care&nbsp;is more than double the average monthly cost of assisted living. Services that allow&nbsp;individuals to receive care at home, such as homemakers and home health aides, cost more than assisted living care and only cover the cost of care. Additional expenses, such as mortgage payments, utilities, meals and home upkeep, aren’t included in their costs.
