Assisted living is one of the most cost-effective senior care solutions in Sandusky, with seniors paying $4,219 per month on average for residential services. Although adult day health care facilities charge lower rates of $2,145, this option only includes daytime care services in a community environment, meaning clients still have other expenses, such as food and housing. Residential care potentially offers a 15% savings over what seniors pay for private in-home care, which features nonmedical care in the individual’s home, and home health care, which provides private services for those who need skilled nursing. Similarly, assisted living is affordable compared to nursing home rates, which average $7,057 and include around-the-clock medical care and support.
