The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Cost of senior care depends on the level of care provided and the location. In Grafton, assisted living is 10% less expensive than either kind of in-home care (about $500 less per month), yet it also includes rent, utilities and food — expenses that are not calculated into the cost of homemaker services or home health aides. While nursing home care is more than double the cost of either assisted living or in-home care, it’s also the most specialized, comprehensive level of care available. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
