Assisted living, a cost-effective solution at $4,623 per month, offers support with daily activities and a range of amenities, allowing seniors to maintain their independence while receiving the care they need. For individuals who would rather stay in their own homes, in-home care and home health care cost approximately $525 more. While both provide assistance with basic tasks, the latter also includes some medical services. Nursing homes typically offer 24/7 supervision by licensed professionals, making them a suitable option for seniors with complex medical needs. This advanced level of care, however, results in a high median monthly price, approximately $7,133 for a semi-private room.
