While assisted living is great for active seniors in need of a little help, other care options may be more suitable. Adult day health care comes with a savings of nearly $3,500. In-home care and home health care are more expensive than assisted living, averaging $6,387 and $6,473, respectively. The increased cost of home health care is due to additional medical services provided by licensed medical professionals. Seniors in need of around-the-clock care or skilled nursing may benefit from a nursing home, with semiprivate rooms averaging a monthly cost of $9,384.

Seniors often need more support than receiving help paying for assisted living. Poway and San Diego County offer several resources meant to bridge that gap and keep seniors living active, healthy and productive lives. These services can assist with meals, legal or tax assistance and transportation around the area to meet growing needs for support as seniors age.
