The cost of long-term care varies depending on the type of care you need and where you live. Today, the national median cost of non-medical home care is $33 per hour. An average of about six hours of home care per day costs $75,504 annually. The national median cost for a private room in a nursing home is $320 per day or $116,800 annually.

In the past five years, costs have increased between 5% and 10%, depending on the care venue. You can review the current cost of care and project future costs in your area using the Genworth Cost of Care Overview.
