Monthly Cost Analysis

As you're weighing assisted living options, cost can be  a big concern. Depending on the level of care needed, assisted living can be more affordable than in home care.

Assisted living costs vary, but you can generally expect to pay $5,000 to $6,000 per month (compared to $7,000 to $8,000 or more for private in-home caregivers).

When 24 care is needed, assisted living is an ideal choice. When you consider the costs of maintaining a home, with utilities, maintenance, and upkeep, as well as meals, in addition to the cost of having in-home care, the advantages of Assisted Living are even more clear.
