I'll save you the click. It's $100,000 / year. ($350,000 if you're unfortunately to be in Alaska)

- philjohn 3y agoUK isn't much better. 10 years ago when my grandmother went into an, admittedly VERY nice, private home and the fees were £1000 a week.
- tstrimple 3y agoHalf the average US cost for a VERY nice place sounds a lot better actually.
- blinzy 3y agoWhen you take into consideration the median household income for both countries, the difference isn't as great as it sounds: - US: ~$70,000 (source: https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2022/demo/p60-276.html https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2022/demo/p60-27...) - UK: ~32,000 (source: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/bulletins/householddisposableincomeandinequality/financialyearending2022 https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personal...)
- 93po 3y agoTo be fair, a third of that is probably just the expense of rent. $66k remaining is $180 a day for the nursing care on top, which seems pretty reasonable aside from the messed up dynamics of medical care in general.
