Upper Arlington has more than just assisted living for eldercare. Many seniors choose to age in place at home, hiring a home health care aide for medical treatments, or homemaker services for assistance with chores, paying bills, or companionship. Both of these average $4,576 per month in the city. At $1,625, adult day care offers many of the services that an assisted living facility does, from activities to meals and personal assistance, but seniors here return home in the evening. For people with medical needs that require a higher level of care, nursing homes are the best choice, averaging $6,996 for a semiprivate room and $8,213 for a private one.
