According to Genworth Financial’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey, assisted living facilities in the United States charge approximately $4,300 per month for services. However, care costs are closely tied to factors, such as the number of available facilities and local living costs, meaning that fees range considerably across the country. In Missouri, monthly rates are $1,300 lower at $3,000, making it an economical option for seniors. In St. Louis County, which shares data with the City of St. Louis, care costs are higher than the state median but lower than the national rate at $3,750 monthly.
St. Louis County is moderately priced for assisted living services at $3,750 monthly, but seniors seeking more affordable options have several cities to choose from.
