According to caring.com, as of 2020, the average cost of a semi-private room in an Ohio nursing home is $7,148. Private accommodations cost about $1,100 more per month. There are few Americans who can afford this, therefore most depend on Medicaid to cover the costs of nursing home care. Across the United States, nursing home care ranges from $5,000 per month to as much as $25,000 per month, depending on geographic location, staffing levels, the complexity of care offered, and the quality and size of the facility. Many times, there are also many “extras” that the resident or their family members are expected to pay.
