Paying for Assisted Living in St. Augustine
No separate St. Augustine figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Florida median of $5,610 a month (CareScout 2025), $590 under the U.S. median of $6,200. Recurring assisted living bills count as medical expenses; how medical expenses work for Aid & Attendance explains the math. In St. Augustine, 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Florida assisted living median | $5,610 | $1,765 |
| U.S. assisted living median | $6,200 | $2,355 |
