The 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey put Ohio's assisted living median at roughly $66,000 a year, or about $5,500 a month, statewide. No Cincinnati-metro-specific figure is published by any primary source.
The detail behind the number
CareScout, the most widely cited source for senior care pricing (formerly published by Genworth), surveys costs at the state level, not city by city. That means the $5,500-a-month figure represents an Ohio-wide average across urban and rural markets alike, and actual pricing at a specific Cincinnati-area community will likely differ, in either direction, from that state median. Rather than guess at a metro-specific number nobody has actually surveyed, we recommend using the state figure as a rough starting point and getting a written, all-in quote at your parent's specific assessed care level from any community you're seriously considering.
