Assisted living, which includes housing, meals and personal care, is one of the most affordable senior care options in Arcadia at $5,000 per month. The only cheaper option is adult day health care at $1,647, but because this option doesn’t include housing and meals, it may provide limited savings for many seniors. Home-based care is costlier than assisted living, with seniors paying $5,434 for homemaker services and $5,529 for specialized home health aide services. Nursing homes have the highest care costs, with rates averaging $8,060 for shared rooms and $10,570 for private accommodations.
