Senior Living Cost Calculator

Estimate monthly costs for assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing homes, or in-home care in your state. Select your state for a localized estimate.

Cost figures: assisted living, memory care, and independent living medians are sourced from the A Place for Mom 2026 Cost of Long-Term Care report (all 50 states + DC — primary-sourced, no calibrated estimates). Nursing home (semi-private and private room) medians are sourced from the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey (Genworth/CareScout); CareScout does not survey the District of Columbia, so DC nursing home figures are unavailable. In-home care national baseline is also CareScout 2025. Figures are medians — actual costs vary by community and care level. States flagged with a small-sample note are based on fewer than 10 reporting communities for at least one care type; treat those figures as directional. Verified July 2026.

How these estimates work

State figures for assisted living, memory care, and independent living come from A Place for Mom's 2026 Cost of Long-Term Care report; nursing home figures come from the CareScout/Genworth 2025 Cost of Care Survey. Room type and care level adjustments (where applicable) reflect typical facility pricing tiers. These are estimates — individual communities vary.

Urban markets often run 20–50% above state medians. A free advisor can give you accurate, community-specific pricing for your exact location.
