How expensive can long-term care be?
The quick answer is "more than you think!" Private nursing homes can cost more than $3,000 per month. Government nursing homes
can cost less, but often have long waiting lists. Home care providers, which may include a private registered nurse, charge a rate of approximately $35 per hour. Less skilled care, like assistance with eating or
light housework, can cost at least $15 per hour.
