Semiprivate rooms here charge a median price of $7,513 per month, while the average room across the nation costs $7,756.
Nursing homes can render the most extensive care available outside of a hospital. Services vary among facilities, but they usually entail 24/7 monitoring, skilled nursing care, social work services, and physical, speech and occupational therapies. These features increase the cost of nursing homes substantially above the costs of other senior living options. Seniors who don’t need such high levels of care may consider home health care providers or assisted living communities to meet their needs more affordably.
