At $4,875 per month, assisted living is one of the most expensive senior care options in Akron. Nursing home care, which is also a residential option but offers a higher level of care, is costlier at $8,121 per month for shared rooms and $8,851 per month for private rooms. Those who live in their own homes may have lower senior care costs, although monthly fees don’t account for living expenses, such as housing, meals and recreation. Homemaker services, which feature a level of care that’s comparable to assisted living, and home health aide services, which include some skilled nursing services, both cost $4,195 per month. The cheapest option is adult day health care at $1,387.
