Description:
The average cost of a nursing home stay in the United States is $153 per day, but there are large variations from metropolitan area to metropolitan area, according to a recent market study released by the MetLife Mature Market Institute. Manhattan is the costliest at $295 per day for a private room while the Hibbing, Minnesota area is the lowest at $90.
The study found that the cost of a home health care aide was $16 per hour nationally. Home health care is most expensive in Hartford, CT at $24 per hour and least expensive in San Antonio, TX at $12 per hour.
The report includes average daily nursing home costs and hourly home health care aide costs for various cities throughout the country.
