Lima Assisted Living Costs and VA Benefits
No separate Lima figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Ohio median of $6,102 a month (CareScout 2025), $98 under the U.S. median of $6,200. Before applying, review VA’s income and asset rules so the assisted living bill is counted the right way. Ask each Lima community for its base rate and care-level pricing in writing; VA asks for that rate sheet too.
