Genworth 2012 Cost of Care Survey
Via Oast & Hook:
Genworth has surveyed long-term care service providers for the past nine years. The 2012 survey included 437 regions that cover all Metropolitan Statistical Areas defined for the 2010 U.S. census. CareScout, a Genworth company, contacted more than 46,000 providers for 15,300 surveys of assisted living facilities, nursing homes, home care providers and adult day care providers. CareScout provides both national rates, state rates, and regional rates by type of care provider. Genworth has identified emerging trends across long-term care services. The cost of care among facility-based providers has steadily increased, while the rates charged by home care providers for “non-skilled” services has remained relatively flat over the past five years. The following information is a compilation of Genworth’s data sorted by type of provider.
