PrintHow Hawaii Ranks in Long-term-care Costs
U.S. Average | Hawaii | Highest Cost | Lowest Cost | |
Assisted Living (per year) | $35,628 | $45,036 | $60,372 (Dist. of Columbia) | $23,568 (North Dakota) |
Nursing home (per year) | $77,745 | $116,800 | $237,250 (Alaska) | $65,700 (Mississippi) |
Home health aide (per hour) | $19 | $23 | $27 (Minnesota) | $14 (Louisiana) |
Adult day care (per day) | $61 | $58 | $130 (Vermont) | $31 (Alabama) |
*Assisted-living rates are for a private room with private bath and typically at least two meals per day, housekeeping and personal-care assistance.
**Private-room rates were obtained from nursing homes that are licensed, provide both skilled and custodial care, and have a private pay rate for custodial care, not the Medicare or Medicaid reimbursed rate.
***Hourly rates for home health aides were obtained from licensed (if required by the state) agencies. Typically, a home visit from a home health aide lasts longer than an hour. Home health aides assist with activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting.
