Industry Benchmarks

The cost of senior living varies across the country. Getting a clearer picture of your current costs in comparison to those at the senior living communities you’re considering can help guide your decision. Assisted Living and Independent Living communities typically range from $1,500 to $6,000 per month. A Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC, typically has an entrance fee starting at $100,000, depending on the community. In addition, many require additional fees such as a move-in fee or monthly service fees. To know your exact costs, you’ll need to speak with a community leader.

Commonwealth’s cost calculator above can help you begin the homework required for comparing expenses and ultimately determining the right choice for you and your family.

The price quoted above includes the base rent plus 1st level of care for assisted living and memory care. However, the only way to assess an individual’s needs with true accuracy is to schedule an in-person assessment. Please reach out to our team with a personalized discussion about care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing

So how much does senior living cost?

Senior living costs vary greatly by region and level of care. Generally speaking, Assisted Living costs average $5,400 per month. Comparatively, home care costs average $6,400 per month. An in depth discussion of these costs can be found on Where You Live Matters. Keep in mind that while the vast majority of costs of daily life: rent, utilities, housekeeping, maintenance, and care are included in the standard fees, some additional services may be charged separately. An example of this is laundry. Some residents do their own laundry while others prefer the community manage this service.

Unlike homes for sale, cars, and other large ticket purchases, the cost of senior living is unique to each individual because it includes not only the cost of the suite itself, but also includes the care each individual needs. Many senior living providers choose to have the conversations with each individual family rather than posting them online. In most cases, the level of care needed cannot be determined without an in-person-assessment. While it may feel like providers are “hiding” their costs, it is more likely that they would not be able to provide a true financial picture without all the information about the future resident’s needs.
