READ MORENationwide, seniors pay an average of $4,300 per month for assisted living, but in some areas, monthly fees are higher or lower depending on the cost of living and how many facilities are available. Bergen County, which is located near the New York area and has comparable senior care costs, is a relatively expensive place to live compared to the typical U.S. county. Its assisted living fees reflect that, with seniors in this county paying an average of $5,991 per month for this type of care. This is about 33% higher than the national median. However, it’s about 10% lower than the statewide average of $6,650.
While Bergen County is among the costlier regions in the nation for assisted living, it’s moderately priced compared to the rest of New Jersey, where the median rate for this level of care is $6,650. The Trenton area, which is approximately 75 miles south of Bergen County’s center, is the most expensive region in New Jersey, with monthly assisted living fees coming in at $7,478. In the Vineland area, care costs are consistent with the statewide average at $6,523. The Atlantic City area is a little more cost-effective than Bergen County at $5,790. Ocean City is the least expensive New Jersey option for assisted living. Here, seniors pay approximately $4,945 per month.
