Cost of Care

A bed in a shared, multiple bed room in a nursing home may cost about $160 a day. A private room with amenities may easily cost $200 a day or more. Costs continue to rise each year.  By the time you may enter a facility, the costs will be much greater than they are today.  Use the table below to get an idea of what costs may be in 10, 20 or 30 years:
