Assisted Living costs in Needham start around $6,375 per month on average, while the nationwide average cost of assisted living is $4,000 per month, according to the latest figures from Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.
It’s important to note that assisted living rates in Needham and the surrounding suburbs can vary widely based on factors such as location, the level of care needed, apartment size and the types of amenities offered at each community.
Seniors on a budget who are eligible may apply to the Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI-G), both state Medicaid programs, to receive financial aid for covering assisted living costs. Seniors may also apply to the non-Medicaid plan, the Supportive Senior Housing Initiative Program, for help with these costs.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on ourAssisted Living in Massachusetts 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:
