Assisted Living Communities in Mankato, MN

Mankato's median fee of $3,135 is the lowest in Minnesota, saving residents $1,373 per month when compared to the state average and $1,365 when compared to the country's norm. St. Cloud's median fee comes closest to Mankato's, but it's still $965 per month more, and Rochester's is an additional $80 on top of that. Duluth's typical senior pays another $1,865 every month for assisted living when compared to Mankato, which is more affordable when compared to Minneapolis, where the gap is $2,028.

The typical cost per month for assisted living in Mankato is $3,135, but seniors may find some facilities are cheaper and others more expensive as many factors determine fees, including location and staff-to-resident ratios.

Except for adult day care, which averages a monthly fee of $2,694, assisted living is the least costly type of senior care in Mankato. In-home care is significantly more, at $5,720 (and the senior still has home maintenance costs to pay, such as utility bills and groceries). Home health care is costlier again, at $7,627, but this pales in comparison to the $10,246 median fee charged by nursing homes for a semiprivate room — which is typically the most affordable option.
