2010 Cost of Care Survey of Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities

New data from Genworth’s 2010 Cost of Care Survey shows that home care costs have risen at an annual rate of just 1.7% over the past five years. That compares to annual increases of 6.7% for assisted living facilities, and 4.5% for a private room in a nursing home, over the same period.
 
According to the survey, in 2005 the median annual rate for a private nursing home room was $60,225, compared with the 2010 median annual rate of $75,190. This means that Americans can expect to pay approximately $14,965 more per year today for a nursing home than they had to pay in 2005.
