What Assisted Living Costs in Arlington
No separate Arlington figure is published, so the best benchmark is the Washington median of $7,600 a month (CareScout 2025), $1,400 above the U.S. median of $6,200. Recurring assisted living bills count as medical expenses; what counts as a medical expense for VA explains the math. In Arlington, 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 |
