Assisted living is among the least expensive senior care options in Gulfport. Some seniors, however, may be willing to pay more to remain in their own homes and receive the personal care and/or light medical services they require. In-home care and home health care run about $395 more per month than assisted living. Nursing home care is much more comprehensive, and its cost of $7,314 reflects that higher level of service.
