What Assisted Living Costs in Washington
No separate Washington, DC figure is published in our sources, so the closest benchmark is the U.S. assisted living median of $6,200 a month (CareScout 2025). DC prices generally run above that. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to Aid & Attendance income and net worth limits shows how assisted living costs lower countable income. In Washington, as elsewhere, the care level written into the plan moves the price more than the apartment does.

|---|---|---|
| U.S. assisted living median | $6,200 | $2,355 |
| U.S. in-home care | $6,673 | $2,828 |
