A new survey by Genworth
Financial finds that costs for Long Term Services and Support in Connecticut
are among the highest in the nation, and rising. At $146,000 for a semi-private
room and $158,775 for a private room, median annual costs of nursing home care
were more expensive in Connecticut last year than any other state but Alaska.
Within Connecticut costs for services can vary substantially. The median annual
cost for care in an assisted living facility last year varied between $75,240 in
Bridgeport and $58,680 in New Haven. Genworth’s website allows searches for LTSS costs across home, community and
facility settings by state or city as well as a very sobering calculator that
estimates the future costs of care for your local area.
