The Cost of Assisted Living in Monroeville, PA and Nearby Cities

Residing in a Monroeville assisted living facility could save a senior $850 per month when compared to the average Pennsylvanian and another $400 when compared to the average American. However, the city isn't the most affordable in Western Pennsylvania; seniors in Johnstown typically pay $525 less for assisted living. However, that is the exception because assisted living care in cities such as Altoona and Erie costs more — an additional $780 for the former and $1,335 for the latter.

Paying for Assisted Living in Monroeville

 

Monroeville's typical senior pays $3,250 per month for assisted living, although residents could pay less or more due to their facility's location and amenities.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Monroeville

Seniors who live in one of Monroeville’s assisted living facilities may be eligible to receive assistance from Community HealthChoices, a Medicaid waiver program. Seniors who receive federal SSI payments may be eligible to receive additional funding from the optional state supplementation program.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Pennsylvania page.

More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

  • Veterans Benefits
  • Life Insurance Policy
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage

For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Pennsylvania page.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Living in Monroeville, PA

Adult day health care is the most affordable option in Monroeville, at $1,495 per month. However, this doesn't pay for the meals, accommodations and 24-hour care assisted living provides for $3,250. In-home care and home health care are costlier, at $5,339, but this figure is for 44 hours of care per month and doesn't include food and accommodations. Nursing homes provide the same types of care as assisted living, plus medical care, but the fee is exceptionally higher, at $9,733 per month.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Monroeville

 

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services regulates assisted living facilities throughout the Commonwealth. Facilities must satisfy the stipulations defined in the Assisted Living Residences Regulations and risk having their licenses revoked by the department if they repeatedly fail to comply with those regulations. The department has the authority to investigate all complaints and make unannounced inspections. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Monroeville

 

  • Monroeville's average cost of living index is 89.8, which is below the state's 94.6 and the country's 100. Therefore, many seniors may prefer the savings they experience here while being close to Pittsburgh's attractions. The health care cost index is even more appealing, at 88.7, which is far below Pennsylvania's 101.7. Consequently, there may be savings in paying for medical care locally.
  • Older citizens typically need medical facilities nearby more than younger ones, and Monroeville doesn't disappoint. It's home to two highly regarded hospitals that, combined, cover most medical needs. Forbes Hospital has a stroke center, trauma center and 24-hour emergency room, while UPMC East ranks as high-performing in multiple procedures, including cardiac and hip replacement.
  • Statistically, Monroeville is safer than the majority of American cities. Ranked on a scale of 1-100, with 1 being low crime, Monroeville's violent crime ranking is 19.8, which is below the U.S. average of 22.7. Property crime is also less common, ranking 27.8, while the country ranks 35.4. Seniors still concerned about crime may be pleased to know security systems, surveillance cameras and 24/7 awake staff are common in assisted living facilities.
  • Monroeville's continental climate, with its annual rainfall of 3 inches more than the national average, sometimes results in muggy days in summer, although they're rarely oppressively humid. Winter sees temperatures drop to lows of 21 degrees, and there are about 25 inches of snow per year. Temperatures regularly reach highs of 84 degrees in summer, so the sunny days are usually comfortably warm.
  • With a health index of 88.8/100, Monroeville offers a healthy environment for seniors. The water and air quality indices of 52/100 are slightly below the U.S. averages of 55 and 58, respectively, but other factors compensate. These include the city's success with the EPA Superfund project of cleaning up contaminated land and the number of physicians per 100,000 people, which, at 381, is close to double the national average.
