In Vancouver, the cost of care jumps across two extremes, but assisted living offers a middle ground between these types of care. Home health care offers the most affordable option at $4,767 while granting seniors access to more medical services than assisted living facilities provide. Nursing homes expand this support even further, but a semi-private room in one costs $14,570 per month as a result.
