Questions families ask

How much does memory care cost in Cincinnati?

There is no published memory-care cost median anywhere -- CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category, in Ohio or any other state. Any specific price you find online is an estimate, not a surveyed figure.

What does a nursing home cost in Ohio?

The 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey put Ohio's nursing home median at roughly $108,405 a year (about $9,034/month) for a semi-private room and $120,450 a year (about $10,038/month) for a private room, statewide.

How much does in-home care cost compared to assisted living in Cincinnati?

Ohio's 2024 CareScout medians put a home health aide at roughly $75,504 a year and homemaker services at roughly $73,216 a year -- both above the $66,000 assisted living median once care approaches full-time hours.

What does adult day care cost in the Cincinnati area?

The 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey put Ohio's adult day health care median at roughly $21,580 a year, or about $1,798 a month, statewide -- well below full-time in-home or facility care.

Are the CareScout cost figures specific to the Cincinnati metro?

No. CareScout publishes state-level medians only. There is no published Cincinnati-metro-specific cost figure from CareScout or any other primary source, and this site does not invent one.
