Paying for Assisted Living in Springfield
No separate Springfield figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Missouri median of $5,400 a month (CareScout 2025), $800 under the U.S. median of $6,200. Before applying, review VA’s income and net worth limits so the assisted living bill is counted the right way. In Springfield, as elsewhere, the care level written into the plan moves the price more than the apartment does.
| Benchmark | Per month | Left after up to $3,845 |
|---|---|---|
| Missouri assisted living median | $5,400 | $1,555 |
| U.S. assisted living median | $6,200 | $2,355 |
| Missouri in-home care | $6,292 | $2,447 |
