Duluth Assisted Living Costs and VA Benefits
No separate Duluth figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Minnesota median of $6,572 a month (CareScout 2025), $372 above 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 Duluth, 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 |
| Minnesota in-home care | $8,389 | $4,544 |
