Care Cost Comparison

Senior living costs vary greatly depending on the level of care an individual needs. Part-time care, such as adult day health ($1,560), is much less expensive than home health services ($4,195) and assisted living ($4,170), but offers only limited hours. While home health services seem to be in line with assisted living costs, it’s important to consider the added expense of rent or mortgage payments, utilities, upkeep and groceries. These costs are typically included in assisted living fees. Nursing homes are also an inclusive package, but average costs are more than $3,000 over the cost of assisted living.
