READ MOREThe Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey discloses that the average assisted living facility in the United States charges $4,300 per month for services. In California, care costs tend to be higher, with average assisted living fees coming in at $5,000. Cost data isn’t available for San Mateo County, but because of its proximity to San Francisco, this city is used for the following cost comparison. Here, assisted living fees exceed state and national averages at $6,100 per month.
At $6,100 per month, the San Mateo County region is among the most expensive in the state for assisted living. Only a handful of cities have higher monthly care costs, including Santa Cruz, where facilities charge approximately $6,800 per month, and Salinas, where monthly fees are the highest in the state at $7,100.

In Merced, rates are low at $3,750, and in Bakersfield, care costs are the lowest in the state at $3,613.
