Budgeting is especially important for seniors living on a fixed budget. It can be hard enough to make ends meet before adding additional costs of senior care. To help seniors living in Omaha, here’s a closer look at what costs to expect when you’re aging in place. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cost of Living in Omaha<\/h2>\n

When comparing the cost of living in Omaha, NE, to other parts of the country, this city costs slightly less to live in than others. Omaha’s cost of living is <\/span>8% lower <\/span><\/a><\/span>than the national average. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that seniors can expect cheap living conditions if they move into a nursing home or other senior living facility. In fact, most seniors living on a fixed income cannot afford the costs associated with daily care in a home. <\/p>\n

Assisted Living Costs<\/h2>\n

Some seniors or their loved ones may consider assisted living facilities when the senior in question only needs a little extra care. However, the monthly costs in Omaha can be so much more than they can afford. Statistics <\/span><\/a>show that the average monthly costs for assisted living facilities is <\/span>$2,850<\/a><\/span>. The low end of this statistic starts at $1,575 and ends at $4,350.<\/p>\n

Nursing Home Costs<\/h2>\n

Nursing Home<\/a> costs are even worse. For a semi-private room in a home, seniors can expect to pay $125 a day. That’s an average of $3,750 per month to basically live with someone else in a room. The average for a private room is $155 a day, coming out to $4,650 a month. That’s a whopping $55,800 a year for a room in a home.  <\/p>\n

Home Care Costs<\/h2>\n

But there is another choice for seniors who need additional care. A caregiver in Omaha charges an average of $19.65 per hour. Caregivers can help you or your senior take care of their daily needs, such as cleaning, driving, bill-paying, personal hygiene, and more. This alternative is a much cheaper and better decision for seniors who either do not wish to leave their homes or simply cannot afford to.<\/p>\n
