Many older adults find themselves needing a helping hand at some point during their retirement years. Assisted living facilities offer residential care, daily meals and snacks, transportation services and recreational activities. Some facilities have additional amenities, such as salons, libraries and fitness centers. These facilities are ideal for those who need personal care services but don’t require skilled nursing or medical monitoring. Monthly rates vary depending on size and amenities, but the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey reports that local facilities charge approximately $3,588 per month. This is well below the national average and consistent with the state median.Â
