READ MOREThe median monthly fee for home care in the Palos Verdes Peninsula is $5,911. Although this is significantly more than the U.S. average, it’s more affordable than California’s norm of $6,101. The 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey also reveals the Palos Verdes Peninsula is less costly than nearby cities, such as Riverside ($6,101) and San Diego ($6,387). However, seniors venturing north may find more affordable home care services, as the median fees for Oxnard ($5,815) and Bakersfield ($5,506) are below the Palos Verdes Peninsula’s midpoint.

Although home care is a nonmedical service focused on personal care and housekeeping, its median fee of $5,911 equals home health care, a medical service from registered nurses and therapists. The cost gap between adult day care ($1,652) and assisted living ($5,250) is wide, although both provide similar services to home care. However, the services aren’t one-on-one, and, for assisted living, the senior must relocate. Nursing home care’s extensive medical services result in fees of around $9,125.

Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed.
