Springfield Assisted Living - Senior Care Options

Before searching for a Springfield assisted living facility (ALF), see what makes the capital of Illinois special.

One enticing aspect of Springfield is that many of its attractions are free. And some of its most popular sites are related to Abraham Lincoln. The future president came to the then industrial city in the 1830s, staying for over 20 years as a lawyer and politician. Today, the "Land of Lincoln" city shines with his legacy featuring museums such as the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, the Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices, Lincoln's National Museum of Surveying and the Lincoln Home National Historic Site.

Springfield offers many natural wonders such as the Washington Park Botanical Garden with its tropical foliage, rose garden, butterfly garden and impressive assortment of perennials. Birders will love the Adams Wildlife Sanctuary, home of the Illinois Audubon Society. Events include bird counting, volunteer days, raptor workshops and many others. The Lincoln Memorial Garden and Nature Center - sitting on the shores of Lake Springfield - is another popular outdoor spot with woodlands, prairie garden and over five miles of trails.

The cost of Springfield assisted living (and other care options) varies depending on many factors so we've included average costs as a reference point. According to a Genworth Financial survey, a one-bedroom in a Springfield assisted living facility averages $4,200 per month. Because of the level of care, nursing home costs are considerably higher. A private room in a Springfield nursing home averages $5,505 month, while a semi-private averages $4,806. Home health aide services average $3,432 a month and homemaker services (cooking, running errands, etc.) average $3,337. Springfield's overall cost of living is 15% below the U.S. average.
