Families pay for care from four buckets: personal savings and the home, long-term care insurance (for the minority who bought it in time), Medicaid (rules below), and for wartime veterans and spouses, VA Aid and Attendance. Most real plans combine two or three - and the mix determines which communities are realistic.
At a median $6,200 a month, assisted living runs $74,400 a year - which is why the money conversation belongs at the start of the search, not after falling in love with a community your parent cannot stay in when savings run out.

What this means for Phillips families
The home-versus-community math is mostly hours: in-home care at $35 an hour serves people who need help, not supervision. Past roughly 40 hours a week - or any point where safety needs someone present around the clock - assisted living at $6,200 a month usually costs less than equivalent home coverage.

Common questions
How much does assisted living cost?
The U.S. median is $6,200 a month ($74,400 a year) per the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey - before care-level fees, which add hundreds more at higher need levels. State medians vary widely; this guide shows your state's number and rank on every page.
How much does in-home care cost?
About $35 an hour at the 2025 national median - roughly $80,000 a year at 44 hours a week. Since the 2025 survey, non-medical caregivers are tracked as a single category, so quotes for 'homemaker' versus 'home health aide' services should no longer differ much for non-medical help.
What questions expose a bad facility fastest?
Three: What is the caregiver-to-resident ratio on nights and weekends? How long has the current administrator been here? What happens when private funds run out? Communities that answer all three plainly and in writing are the shortlist.
What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted living provides housing plus help with daily activities - meals, medication, bathing - at a median $6,200 a month. Nursing homes provide 24/7 skilled medical care at a median $9,581 a month for a semi-private room. The dividing line is medical need: wound care, feeding tubes and ventilators are nursing-home territory.
What is memory care and why does it cost more?
Memory care is assisted living specialized for dementia - secured areas, higher staffing, trained caregivers - and typically prices 20-40% above standard assisted living in the same market. If dementia is in the picture, ask specifically about memory-care rates and staff training, not the general rate.
