  • Veterans Benefits
  • Life Insurance Policy
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Living in Bronx, NY

When comparing the cost of assisted living with that of other types of senior care, assisted living care in the Bronx sits somewhere in the middle. It’s $3,800 more per month than the cost of staying in an adult day health care program and approximately $200 more per month than in-home care. Home health care is a little closer in cost to assisted living services, as it offers care focused on medical treatments instead of cleaning or household management. Still, assisted living is $30 more per month. Comparing assisted living care to skilled nursing care, however, a semiprivate room in a nursing home costs approximately $12,500 each month for seniors in the Bronx — $6,700 more per month than assisted living care.
