The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Senior care prices are largely based on the level of care provided and the number of direct service hours. Auburn nursing home care that includes around-the-clock skilled nursing is the most expensive option, while weekday adult day health services provided in a group setting&nbsp;are the least expensive.&nbsp; All types of senior care are notably higher in Auburn due to the area’s high cost of living. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/finance-business-operations/procurement/about-us/Living-Wage.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/finance-business-operations/procurement/about-us/Living-Wage.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">county ordinance</a>&nbsp;that mandates employers pay a living minimum wage also impacts senior care rates. Assisted living costs include room and board, yet they’re about $450 lower than 44 hours of weekly in-home care services.
