Utah’s average monthly cost to live in an assisted living facility is just $3,400, which is almost $1,000 less than the national average. Seniors who need immediate placement into an assisted living community but do not have the funds may benefit from an Eldercare Bridge Loan. This provides financial assistance for 12-18 months while residents and their family members gather other means to pay for living expenses.
