The 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey records Modesto’s median fee as $4,000, saving residents approximately $1,250 per month when compared to California’s average.
This guide considers the pros and cons of living in Modesto and the fees for various types of senior care. It also lists some free senior-friendly resources.

READ MOREThe California Senior Care Licensing Program regulates assisted living facilities within the state where they’re officially known as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly. It issues licenses to facilities that satisfy strict guidelines, and it conducts regular monitoring to ensure that they uphold these standards. The Sacramento South Regional Office is responsible for overseeing assisted living facilities in Modesto.
Seniors in Modesto’s assisted living facilities are likely to pay around $4,000 per month for their care, which is below California’s average of $5,250. Although rare for the state, it’s also below the national average of $4,500.
California’s inland cities are more likely to have lower assisted living costs than their coastal cousins. For example, seniors in Santa Cruz typically pay $5,550 per month for assisted living, while their peers in Vallejo and Stockton average $4,950 and $3,649, respectively. However, a coastal location isn’t the only factor as San Jose’s $6,000 average confirms.

Although they offer different services in the home, both in-home care agencies (nonmedical) and home health care agencies (medical) have the same monthly fee of $5,768. This is significantly costlier than assisted living’s average of $4,000 in Modesto although it’s not as expensive as nursing home care, which averages $10,463 for a semiprivate room. The 2021 Genworth survey doesn’t have a figure for Modesto’s adult day health care costs, but the state average of $1,842 provides some indication of the fees that seniors will likely pay.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in California page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
