A dash means the underlying source can't support that figure for this area. We leave the cell empty rather than estimate around it.

Why is this number different on other websites? Most sites average "starting at" prices. Base rent, before care fees. We estimate the full monthly cost families actually pay. Budget from the all-in number. Our methodology →

Ways families typically pay

  • Private pay (savings, income, home equity)
  • Long-term care insurance
  • VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses
  • Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) waivers, where eligible. Rules vary by state

Medicare generally does not cover long-term custodial care. State-specific Medicaid waiver guides are coming soon.

Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.
