Guide to Illinois Nursing Homes

Daily Costs of an Illinois Nursing Home

While the answers to many questions will help you narrow your search for an Illinois nursing home, the most important question to ask yourself is how the nursing facility will be paid for. Nursing homes are different than assisted living facilities in that they often have both permanent and short-term residents at any given time. Because of that, nursing home costs tend to be broken down by day rather than month. In the state of Illinois, nursing homes can cost as little as $91 per day and go all the way up to $408 per day with the average costs resting around $167-$206 per day. Price can be affected by geographic location as well as the type of room a resident is searching for. For instance, heavily populated locations, like Chicago, tend to cost more because of the city location. Here is a breakdown of Illinois nursing home costs:

Cost of Chicago Nursing Homes:

• Semi-Private Rooms: $125-$209/day ($159/day average)
