Mature Market Institute Releases Nursing Home/Assisted Living Survey

Assisted Living Rates Remain Steady,
According to MetLife Market Survey

The 2007 MetLife Market Survey of Nursing Home and Assisted Living Costs has just been released by the MetLife Mature Market Institute.  

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The average cost of a private room in a nursing home was $213 per day, or $77,745 annually, compared with $206 in 2006.  
  • Semi-private rooms edged up 3%, from $183 to $189 per day.
  • Nursing home costs are the highest in Alaska (statewide) at $510 daily and lowest in Louisiana (Baton Rouge) at $123 daily.
"While nursing home costs have risen slightly higher than the rate of inflation, the base cost for assisted living has remained stable over the past year," said Sandra Timmermann, Ed.D., director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute. Timmermann added, "In many cases, special services for assisted living are added to the base price, so consumers should inquire about all costs when exploring their options."
