Long Term Care Costs Rise Across All Service Types

November 15, 2016 by author

The cost of long term care is rising across all service types, according to the findings of a survey of more than 16,000 care providers nationwide.

Across nursing homes, assisted living communities and in-home care, costs vary widely, but one thing is consistent: all costs are rising.

The cost of care in a private room in a U.S. nursing home averages roughly $94,170 per year, with the costs of assisted living averaging $41,124 annually, according to the survey, commissioned by John Hancock Life Insurance Company.

Home care, in comparison, averages $29,640 annually, the study finds based on responses from 16,000 long term care providers nationwide. Long term care across all service types having increased over the past year.

Based on a five-year average, the company finds the cost of nursing home care has risen most, at 3.6% per year for both private and semi-private room options. Assisted living, in contrast, has risen 2% annually while the cost of a home health aide has risen 1.3%. Costs vary by geography, the company notes, showing geographic discrepancies through its national long term care calculator.

“The cost of long-term care continues to be one of the most significant uninsured financial risks that an individual can face,” said Michael Doughty, Executive Vice President & General Manager, John Hancock Insurance. “[We] hope that our cost of care studies will raise consumer awareness and will help them understand how important planning ahead for a potential long-term care event can be to their future.”

The findings compare with similar results of an annual Genworth Financial Survey indicating care costs have risen 5% year over year in 2013 for assisted living, 3.6% more for nursing home care, and 1.4% for home care.
