Per the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey, published March 2026, Texas medians are $5,666 monthly for assisted living, $7,604 for a private nursing home room, $30 an hour for a non-medical caregiver, and $90 a day for adult day health care.
The detail behind the number
The published Texas medians from the 2025 CareScout survey are $5,666 a month for assisted living, $5,627 for a semi-private nursing room, $7,604 for a private nursing room, $30 an hour for a non-medical caregiver and $90 a day for adult day health care.
Read these as market-wide midpoints, not quotes. Half the market sits above each figure by definition, and Austin is one of the metros pulling upward. A quoted base rent also excludes care-level charges, which is where actual bills diverge from published medians.
The survey was released in March 2026 from rates collected between July and November 2025, so there is a lag baked in.
