Highest/Lowest Daily Rates
There is a $875 difference between the lowest and highest daily rates for a semi-private room in Pennsylvania's nursing homes, according to the *2015 Genworth report.
That record-high $972 rate could be from a single exceptional facility, and is not typical of other nursing homes in Pennsylvania.
The median rate is the middle point between the highest and lowest. It is similar to an average, but not exactly the same.
The median rate for the entire state was $289 per day for a semi-private room.

Planning ahead for lifetime care? A CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) may be your answer.
What's a CCRC?
Simply put, CCRCs are retirement communities with an important added benefit: lifetime care, which ensures that you can "age in place," having planned ahead in terms of access to additional services and the cost of long-term care. The typical CCRC is a community that includes independent living in apartments or house units, an assisted living facility, and a nursing home or skilled nursing facility.
Some CCRCs also include short term rehab, hospice, special memory care facilities, and even home health care services.
