Milford Assisted Living Costs and VA Benefits
No separate Milford figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Delaware median of $7,600 a month (CareScout 2025), $1,400 above the U.S. median of $6,200. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to VA’s income and asset rules shows how assisted living costs lower countable income. In Milford, 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 |
