Assisted living care is often in the middle of the cost range of the different types of senior care available in Polk County. However, since there is no data indicating the cost of adult day care in the area (which is usually the least expensive type of care offered to seniors), assisted living is the least expensive care type in Lakeland at $3,300 per month. Home care services are more than $1,270 higher and home health care nearly $1,200 higher in cost than assisted living. This trend continues for seniors who need a more advanced level of medical care than assisted living can provide. A semiprivate room in a nursing home costs an average of more than $8,700 per month, more than $5,400 higher in cost than assisted living.
