How Much Does Assisted Living Cost in Virginia?
The statewide median assisted living cost in Virginia is $6,513 per month, based on the Genworth/CareScout Cost of Care Survey, 2024 (Virginia state median). Costs can be higher or lower than that median depending on the metropolitan area, the community's amenities and apartment size, and the resident's specific care needs.
Local markets such as Virginia Beach, Richmond, Northern Virginia and others typically vary from the statewide median because of housing costs, labor markets and demand for services. Care intensity also changes price: added personal care, specialized memory-care programming, and private apartments usually raise the monthly fee.
