More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

 

  • Veterans Benefits

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Assisted living, a cost-effective solution at $4,623 per month, offers support with daily activities and a range of amenities, allowing seniors to maintain their independence while receiving the care they need. For individuals who would rather stay in their own homes, in-home care and home health care cost approximately $525 more. While both provide assistance with basic tasks, the latter also includes some medical services. Nursing homes typically offer 24/7 supervision by licensed professionals, making them a suitable option for seniors with complex medical needs. This advanced level of care, however, results in a high median monthly price, approximately $7,133 for a semi-private room.
