Home health care’s median fee of $4,385 equals the assisted living rate, while in-home care’s $4,195 is more affordable. Adult day care’s $1,517 is the most affordable of all. However, all of these types of senior care still require the senior to pay to live at home, so assisted living could end up being the least costly option. The most expensive type of senior care by far is provided by nursing homes, which typically charge $9,019 for a semiprivate room — their most affordable option.
