What it costs around here
Median private-pay cost, CareScout (Genworth) 2025 Cost of Care Survey — a regional midpoint, not any single community’s rate. Private rooms and higher care levels cost more; ask for a current quote. Project your own in the cost-of-care planner.
† Memory care is our estimate, not survey data: CareScout does not survey memory care, so we take the assisted-living median for the state and add $1,200/month — the typical secured-dementia-unit premium. It is a planning figure with no state-level detail behind it, and real memory-care pricing varies far more than that. Treat it as a starting point and ask the community for its own memory-care rate.
Estimated cost range · regional
In Michigan, assisted living typically runs about $4,650–$7,000/month.
This is a regional estimate modeled from published survey data (the CareScout/Genworth state median, ±20%) — not this community’s actual price, which it sets privately. Ask the community for its current all-in monthly rate and what each care level adds.
Paying with Medicaid
Michigan Medicaid can help pay for assisted living — through a waiver, not through regular Medicaid.
The Michigan waiver that can pay for it:
- MI Choice Waiver Program — covers in-home / adult day / home modifications / respite for nursing-home-eligible seniors
In Michigan: apply or check eligibility ↗ or call 1-844-799-9876.
A waiver pays for care, not for rent. Even where the state covers assisted-living services, room and board is still the resident’s to pay. Full eligibility limits — income, assets, the look-back — are on our Michigan Medicaid page.
