At $4,385, home health care's median fee is equal to assisted living but doesn't include accommodations, meals and 24/7 care, which is provided by assisted living. In-home care is more affordable, at $4,195, but it also doesn't offer most services included with assisted living. Neither does adult day care, although its median fee of $1,517 is much more affordable than the other options. Nursing homes provide the same care levels as assisted living, but, because they also provide additional medical care, the median fee is much higher, at $9,019.
