The average stay for nursing-home residents is 28 months, and the average stay for assisted-living residents is 27 months. But many of those people receive some other kind of long-term care before or after their stay.
The national average cost of assisted living for one year is $50,000. But that figure varies greatly by location. For example, the monthly average cost of assisted living services in Boston is $6,500, but it is only $2,500 in Jackson, MI. The cost of assisted living also depends on level of care, facility and amenities, how much medical assistance is involved, and other factors.
