The costs of a monthly stay in an Assisted Living Facility is costly and varies from state to state, from cities within states and even within the same city. In the state of Utah, the average cost is $2,950 – although that amount ranges from a low of $2,600 in other parts of Utah, to a high of $3,650 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The average annual cost of Assisted Living in the state of Utah is currently around $35,400. The cost of Assisted Living and Elder Care in general will only increase as the number of older and disabled people increase and this is something that our society needs to be concerned about.
One of the big concerns for elders is that they will be “put in a home” and forgotten about and therefore many people will do everything in their power to keep their loved one at home and out of a senior living facility. This often leads to people using Adult Day Health Care or hiring a Home Health Aide. Although this does allow people to stay in their homes, or at least prolong the move into a facility, it can be very costly both financially and emotionally.
The cost of Adult Day Health Care in Utah is around $1,560 per month, or $18,720 annually (based on a five-day week). A Home Health Aide is a person who comes into the individuals house and provides care in their home. The monthly expense of a Home Health Aide in the State of Utah is a bit over $4,000, or $48,048 annually. It is important to note that while many Home Health Aides are caring, talented, and very dedicated to their job and their patients, they are not licensed medical professionals. They are not trained to treat wounds or even to pass out medication. Home Health Aides are also there to take care of the individuals and not to clean the house, although many do light housekeeping. The monthly cost of a Home Health Aide is based on a 44-hour week which means that there are 124 hours weekly where there will be no one there to care for the person besides the family. The only way to get care around the clock would be to hire the equivalent of 3.8 Home Health Aides which would cost around $15,215 per month in Utah, on average.
Experts project that the cost of elder care will increase in the next five years depending on what service is required: Home Health Aides will increase 1%; Adult Day Health Care will increase by a staggering 12%, Assisted Living Care will increase 2%, and Nursing Home Care will increase by 3% in only the next five years. Currently, a semi-private room in a skilled nursing facility costs $67,525 in Utah, and a private room costs $76,650.
By the year 2030 in the state of Utah, the yearly cost of an Assisted Living is expected to be around $53,550, Adult Day Health Care - $28,316, Home Health Aide - $72,700, a semi-private room in a nursing facility will cost nearly $102,140, and a private room will cost almost $116,000 per year. The increase in these prices is why Long-Term Care Insurance is on the rise in America.

There are many different options for living arrangements for seniors when looking for a place to call home during their retirement years. Many seniors chose to live in age-segregated communities where the residents must be over a certain age – usually 55.
When you live in a CCRC you are guaranteed a place to live for your lifetime, although few, if any, CCRCs will guarantee someone entry to a skilled nursing facility that is part of the CCRC. If the beds are filled then the CCRC will try to find an alternate, yet comparable, facility.
The major downside, for many, is the entry cost of the CCRC which ranges depending on the size of the unit and the geographic location as well as the location within the area. Entry fees can run from anywhere from $30,000 to $1 million as well as monthly charges that vary from less than $300 to over $4,500.
Utah rates next to last as far as its senior population - 49th out of the 50 states with only 9% of older Utahans age 65 or older.

It is also used after a hospital stay while a person no longer requires 24-hour nursing care (or maybe they never did) but they still need licensed medical personnel around. Although some see respite care as a way of “dumping” someone at a facility, caregiving is a physically and mentally exhausting job for both the caregiver and the person receiving care, and it is often breaks, such as respite care, which allow for caregivers to continue in that role.
