The Genworth Cost of Care Survey has been the foundation for long term care planning since 2004. Knowing the costs of different types of care – whether the care is provided at home or in a facility – can help you plan for these expenses. According to Genworth, the 2017 survey is one of the most comprehensive of its kind, covering 440 regions across the U.S. and based on data collected from more than 15,000 completed surveys.

The Genworth 2017 Cost of Care survey found:

• The average cost of a private nursing home room increased 5.5%.
• The average cost of a semi-private nursing home room rose 4.44%.
• The average cost of an assisted living facility rose 3.35%.
