MetLife’s 2006 survey of nursing home costs estimates the average cost of a private room in a Boston-area nursing home to be $102K per year (and $93K for a semi-private room). The survey also provided estimated costs for Worcester-area nursing homes which put the cost at $100K for a private room. The national average cost was $75K for a private room and $67K for a semi-private room. A PDF copy of the 20 page report can be found here.
