• SNF: As of 2023, the rate for a semi-private room at a SNF in Connecticut ranges from $6,083.33 - $20,926.67 per month, for an average of $14,941.67, if paying 100% out-of-pocket. Private rooms will cost more.
• ALF: According to the Connecticut’s Office of Legislative Research, the 2020 average monthly rate for a private apartment at an ALF was $6,300 if paying 100% out-of-pocket.
• - Home care: With the exception of live-in care, home care services are billed by the hour. Costs by the type of services provided, with medical home care costing more than non-medical home care. The average rate for a home health aide in Connecticut in 2024 was $40 per hour. This means that care for 30 hours a week would be approximately $5,200 per month.
• - Adult day care centers: The average cost in Connecticut is $106 per full day. Many centers also offer half-day rates. More details about the cost of home care services and adult day care centers are available from the State of Connecticut: Office of Policy and Management.

Connecticut offers a list and costs of skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and adult day centers within the state, along with their costs. Please note that assisted living facilities are not included on this list, but can be found on Connecticut’s 211 website (see Section 1 above).
