For most Escondido seniors, paying for assisted living involves a mix of public and private payment strategies. To make long-term care accessible, residential care communities typically accept financial assistance programs such as Medicaid, Medicare and veterans’ benefits.
Homemaker and home health aide services both average at $5,716 per month, even though the latter also provides basic medical aid. However, assisted living is $1,191 less costly, despite providing accommodation with senior care support. Adult day health care centers are the most affordable option, at $1,733. The most expensive is nursing home facilities, which typically charge $10,722 for a semiprivate room and an additional $3,711 for the convenience of a private one.
