What does long-term care cost?

For the past 20 years, Genworth and CareScout have tracked the cost of care nationwide to help families understand long term care costs. 

The 2024 survey covers 431 regions and is based on data collected from more than 15,000 providers, making this data the most comprehensive of its kind.

This tool allows you to:
  • calculate current and projected costs
  • compare locations

Find the current costs in your area (or where you plan to retire). You can use the slider tool to see what costs are expected to be in 10, 20 or 30 years. 

Key findings:
 
  • Cost for home health aides grew by 3% over 2023 data. 
  • The cost of homemaker services, which includes assistance with "hands-off" tasks such as cooking, cleaning and running errands, increased over 10%.
  • Assisted living costs grew by 10%.
  • In 2024, the national annual median cost of a semi-private room in a skilled nursing center rose to $111,325, an increase of 7%, while the cost of a private room in a skilled nursing center increased 9% to $127,750.
