The average monthly cost of assisted living in Roanoke is $313 less than the state median, reflecting a potential savings of around $3,700 per year on average for seniors who decide to settle in the Star City. Roanoke’s average monthly cost for assisted living services is less than the nearby cities of Blacksburg, Staunton and Charlottesville&nbsp;but slightly more expensive than costs in nearby Lynchburg. However, Roanoke is served by both a regional airport and an Interstate, which may make it easier for seniors in assisted living communities to receive visitors from out of town. Lynchburg, on the other hand, has a small airport but no interstate access.

The cost of long-term care for any individual — in any location — depends heavily on the type of care required.&nbsp;Genworth’s&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">Cost of Care Survey</a> for 2018 notes that the median cost of assisted living care in Roanoke is only $4,138, but that the average monthly cost of nursing home care in a semiprivate room is almost double that at $8,030. Choose nursing home care in a private room, and the average cost is $9,003, which is more than double the cost of assisted living with a private apartment or room. In-home care costs average around $3,384, which seems to reflect a savings of around $754 per month for seniors. Remember, though, that the costs of assisted living typically include accommodations and meals; the costs of in-home care do not reflect rent, mortgages, meals or home upkeep. In the end, it may not be as big of a savings as seniors might think. Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart
