One question to ask every community up front: what happens when private funds run out? Some accept Medicaid after a private-pay period, many do not - and moving a frail parent later is the outcome everyone regrets.
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.

Find nursing home options near Somerville
These platforms show communities and home-care agencies near you with pricing guidance. Advisors are free to families - providers pay them, as they do this site.

What this means for Somerville 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.
This guide is research, not advice: an independent summary of published costs and state rules. It is not a care provider, placement agency, law firm or financial advisor - care and Medicaid decisions deserve professional advice for your family's situation.
Common questions
How do I check a facility's inspection record?
Every state has a licensing or certification agency that publishes inspection results and complaint histories - this guide links your state's agency on every page. Search every finalist before any deposit: violations, complaint patterns and how the operator responded tell you more than the tour.
Does Medicaid pay for assisted living?
It depends entirely on your state: 36 states cover some assisted living services through waivers, 9 cover them in limited settings, and 6 have no assisted living pathway at all. Even where covered, waivers typically pay for care services while the family handles room and board. This guide's Medicaid page gives your state's verified answer.
Does long-term care insurance actually help?
If your parent bought a policy years ago, yes - claim it early, as most policies have elimination periods before benefits start. Buying new coverage in one's 80s is generally not realistic. Check old files: policies bought decades ago are routinely forgotten and unclaimed.
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.
