Home care costs vs. senior living costs in Oakland
Home care costs in Oakland increase based on the hours of care needed. Costs are typically higher for seniors who need home care at night or for most of the day — for example, while a family member is at work. For seniors who need full-time or 24/7 care, assisted living or memory care may be a more cost-effective option in the long run.
To learn more about other local senior living options, view Oakland assisted living facilities or Oakland memory care facilities.
