Due to its close proximity to Kankakee, Illinois, Lake County’s assisted living costs are likely similar. Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey 2020 lists the average cost of assisted living here as $4,841 per month. This is $459 above the Indiana state average of $4,382 and more than $500 higher than the U.S. median of $4,300.
Seniors in other parts of Indiana pay less for assisted living than those in Lake County. For example, retirees in Bloomington pay just $2,840, the lowest rate in the state. Cities such as Columbus and Fort Wayne also have monthly assisted living costs of less than $4,000 per month. Elsewhere in Indiana, costs are more comparable to Lake County. Those choosing assisted living in Michigan City pay approximately $4,585, while seniors in Muncie spend $4,645 each month. In Lafayette, rates increase to $4,790, which is just below the cost of assisted living in Lake County.
Across the border, seniors in Chicago, Illinois, can expect to spend more on assisted living, which averages $4,950 per month. Lake County is situated less than 45 miles from Chicago, and considering its low cost of living, the county may be a viable option for seniors looking for a more affordable area that offers easy access to a large urban center.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Indiana page.
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:
