Cost of Assisted Living

Make yourself at home

After first asking, “is Assisted Living right for me?” the next concern most people have is how much will it cost? With more than 31,000 Assisted Living facilities nationwide, there are many options and price points from which to choose. As a result, it is not uncommon to experience uncertainty and doubt when determining the best way to pay for a loved one’s care.

Annual cost for long-term care ranges from $17,680 for adult day care to more than $92,000 for a private room in a nursing home

Most Assisted Living residences charge on a month-to-month lease arrangement. Residents pay a monthly rental fee that typically includes (but is always not limited to) a base range of benefits and services, such as:

These costs can be further influenced by a number of factors, such as:

The typical Assisted Living resident has an income of about $19,000 per year.

The majority of Assisted Living residences – including Country Place Senior Living – use a bundled pricing model with basic services included. Residents requiring minimal assistance pay the lowest price. Those requiring greater assistance see pricing increase incrementally depending on their individual needs. Other charges may include:

  • Entrance fees up to one month’s rent
  • Pet / Property deposits
  • Moving costs / relocation expenses

Although Country Place Senior Living requires a non-refundable deposit for each resident’s pet, we do not charge an entrance or administrative fee of any kind. In addition, we pay up to $500 of a new resident’s moving expenses.

When researching Assisted Living residences, ask for a written copy of their resident agreement. Ask for details in writing that spell out pricing, amenities / services, move-in / move-out criteria, pet policies and other additional charges.
