Assisted living is among the most affordable senior care options in Dalton. Only adult day programs come in lower at $1,625 per month, but these may not provide the necessary level of care for some seniors. If community life does not appeal to older adults, they have the option of remaining in their own homes and using in-home care or home health care, but they will pay over $1,400 more than they would for assisted living. Nursing home care, which is much more comprehensive, costs the most at $7,513 per month.
