Average Daily Costs of Assisted Living
In Wichita, assisted living is generally billed monthly, but when broken down, daily costs typically range between $125 and $200 per day, depending on the level of care and type of community.

- Level of care – Higher assistance needs (mobility, medication, memory care) add to daily rates.
- Amenities – Meal plans, activities, transportation, and housekeeping can influence cost.
- Staffing ratios – More caregivers per resident often mean higher daily costs but improved attention.
