To make sure you plan adequately though, you need to make sure you understand what to expect of long-term care costs. <strong>Genworth<\/strong> performs a yearly survey to identify long-term care costs to give consumers an idea of what to expect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that costs for the different types of care the survey covers have grown anywhere from 1-4% over the last 5 years \u2013 nursing homes having gone up at the highest rate, at 3.95% for a private room. The numbers for 2015 won\u2019t tell you everything you need to know to be prepared for a long-term care stay in 2020 or even 2016, but it can give you an idea of how the market looks now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve got some of the most important numbers for you to know below.

The difference between the cost of a private room in a nursing home in the most expensive state (Alaska, $281,415) is over four times the cost of one in the least expensive state (Oklahoma, $60,225). So while the national averages can be useful, knowing what to expect in your own state can be even more valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All nursing home numbers provided below are for private rooms, but you can often get shared rooms for a bit less (those numbers can be found in the full report). In some states, home health is more than assisted living; in others it\u2019s less.
