With monthly rates of $5,163, assisted living offers an affordable care option for seniors to receive daily support and supervision. In-home care helps older adults with personal needs and homemaking tasks. Its counterpart, home health care, provides the same services with the addition of light medical aid. Both types of care share a $7,055 monthly cost, a 36.6% increase over assisted living.
Expenses rise even higher for seniors in nursing homes, where semi-private accommodations cost $6,545 more per month than assisted living. The most economical option, adult day health care, is $3,061 cheaper than assisted living but only offers assistance for a small portion of the day.
