It’s also above the median fees for the nearest cities included in the survey, such as Poughkeepsie’s $5,339 and the $5,148 typically paid in Kingston and Albany. The greatest difference in fees in the region is between Mineola’s $5,529 and Binghamton, where the typical senior pays $4,814 per month.

At $5,529, home care is a more expensive option than adult day care, where the typical senior pays $1,950 per month. However, home care is suitable for homebound seniors, and services are one-on-one. Home health care can’t be compared directly with home care as these services are medically focused, which is why the median fee of $5,720 is greater. At $5,750, assisted living is costlier than home care, although not as expensive as nursing home care ($12,471).
