For the Cost of Long-Term Care Study, over 8,500 nursing homes were surveyed in 2014. 1  The national average annual cost of a private room in a nursing home based on the regions in the study is $97,455 per year.  The national average daily rate for a private room in a nursing home is $267 in the markets surveyed.
A day in an average assisted living facility costs approximately $100 to $120 including room/board/care (on the Central Coast, costs can be up to $200 a day). Medi-CAL currently pays $115 per day/per patient in a skilled nursing home.he resident should pay the costs for room/board in assisted living and the service/care would be reimbursed by Medi-CAL. I'm sure Betty, from the beginning of this article, would have had another year in assisted living. She would have been moved to a nursing home later, due to health and not financial reasons.
