Assisted living is just one of the options available to Braintree seniors for long-term care. Adult day health care is the most affordable choice at $1,782 per month, but it’s not ideal for seniors that need help seven days a week or outside of normal business hours. In-home care options average $5,720 per month but don’t include room and board, which makes this one of the more expensive options. Nursing home care is the most expensive long-term care option at $13,383 per month for a shared room or $14,509 for a private room.
