Luxury Assisted Living in the Cincinnati Tri-State Area
The Cincinnati Tri-State Area comprises 15 counties. These include the counties of Brown, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren in Ohio; Dearborn, Franklin, and Ohio in Indiana; and Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, and Kenton in Kentucky. In addition to a large geographic footprint, the area offers a diverse array of senior living options from which to choose.
There are hundreds of communities offering independent senior living, assisted living, memory care, and long-term skilled nursing. The region is a bit more complex than other metro areas because we’re comprised of three states converging each with a different mix of senior living and Medicaid programs. The region does not boast a huge array of luxury options quite frankly and you’ll find a far greater number of upscale middle-market type of communities in the region. One thing is for certain, however, you must have the financial resources because the top-end communities are rarely subsidized beyond your private resources.
What to expect Assisted Living to Cost
According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey, Conducted by CareScout®, August 2020, the national average for Assisted Living United States is $4,300 per month while long-term nursing home care for comparison averages nationally $8,821 per month according to Genworth.
Assisted Living Locators of Greater Cincinnati sees the monthly cost of independent living in Northern Kentucky ranging from approximately $2,000 to over $4,000. Assisted living ranges between $4,500 and $7,000 monthly depending on care level needs and Alzheimer’s / Memory Care typically falls between $6,000 to $7,000 monthly. Luxury communities will often exceed the top of these ranges and often require income/asset verification for admittance. Many factors contribute to the cost of living in a senior living community such as included meals, amenities, location, care needs, and type of community. An experienced advisor can help families find the best and most cost-effective living solutions.
