Suffolk Assisted Living Costs and VA Benefits
No separate Suffolk figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Virginia median of $6,945 a month (CareScout 2025), $745 above the U.S. median of $6,200. If income looks too high on paper, read what to do when income seems too high before ruling the benefit out. In Suffolk, as elsewhere, the care level written into the plan moves the price more than the apartment does.
