Home care’s monthly median fee of $5,672 is below home health care’s $5,720. However, it must be noted the latter is a medical service typically delivered by registered nurses and therapists, which increases costs. Adult day care is cheaper than home care, at $1,842, but it’s not a one-on-one service, or suitable for homebound seniors. Assisted living is more affordable too, at $4,825, but will require institutionalization. Nursing homes deliver near-hospital levels of medical care, resulting in their fees in Naperville being around $6,996.
