According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, seniors typically pay around $9,125 per month for a semiprivate room compared to the national average of $7,756.
Nursing homes provide a high level of 24/7 medical care and supervision that seniors still living at home cannot receive. Nursing homes typically have skilled nurses and aides who are available 24/7, making it one of the most expensive long-term care options. For seniors who do not require round-the-clock care, an assisted living community or home health care agency may be appropriate and affordable.
This guide provides a comparison of the costs of different care types and a list of useful resources for Garden Grove seniors.
