The average monthly cost for long-term nursing home care in the United States varies depending on whether the room is semi-private or private. As of 2024, the average monthly cost for a semi-private room is approximately $9,167, while a private room costs about $10,104 per month (1,2).
These costs can vary significantly by state. For example, states like Missouri and Louisiana have some of the lowest costs, with semi-private rooms averaging around $5,582 and $6,110 per month respectively. On the other hand, states like Alaska and Connecticut have some of the highest costs, with private rooms exceeding $15,000 per month (3,1).
These figures highlight the substantial financial burden associated with nursing home care, emphasizing the importance of financial planning, and exploring options like Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, and long-term care insurance to help manage these expenses (4).
