*CareScout's "Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach" area, which covers Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. CareScout does not publish a separate figure for individual cities. Survey responses were collected July–November 2025. A median is a midpoint, not a quote: half of the providers surveyed charged more and half charged less.
What moves the price
- Level of care and how it's priced (tiers, points, or à la carte)
- Apartment size; private vs. shared
- One-time community or move-in fees
- What's bundled: meals, laundry, transportation, medication management
Ask for the full fee schedule in writing, and how often rates have gone up.
