Care Homes costs differ by location and facility, as many communities offer different levels of care, amenities, and activities. Prices also vary based on how much — or how little — assistance a senior needs.
Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized activities, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically don’t provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a residential care home is $3,300 for the Jersey City metropolitan area. For the state of New Jersey, the median monthly cost for a room in a care home is $3,000. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Because the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore vary vastly.
