Seniors who prefer to stay in their homes for as long as possible may benefit from home care services, which average $5,958 per month and include help with daily living activities, meal preparation, housekeeping and laundry. While home health care also averages $5,958 per month, these services include medical treatment, such as wound care, vital signs monitoring and therapies. Seniors not requiring these extra home services may benefit from adult day care, which averages less at $2,167 per month. Those who prefer carefree living with supportive services available around the clock may benefit from assisted living, which also costs less than in-home care at $3,975. Seniors requiring 24/7 skilled nursing care can expect to pay more at an average of $6,418 for nursing home services.
