The detail behind the number
Substantially cheaper. Adult day health care runs a Texas median of about $90 a day, roughly $1,950 a month at five days a week, against $5,666 a month for assisted living. For a family where one spouse or an adult child is home evenings and nights, it can defer a move by a long time.
It is also doing different work. Adult day provides supervision, activity and often nursing oversight during working hours. It does nothing at 2 a.m., which is when many families reach their limit.
