Located along Florida’s northern Atlantic coast, Jacksonville is a popular beach retirement destination for many reasons, including its affordability. While Florida can be expensive, the overall cost of living in Jacksonville is roughly 6% below the national average. Health care costs are also below average for U.S. cities.

Despite its general affordability, senior care is a bit on the high side. Assisted living averages $4,580 per month, which exceeds both the national average ($4,459) and the state median ($4,067). Fortunately, with no income tax in the state, individuals can dedicate a larger portion of their retirement income to senior living costs. 

This guide delves into assisted living in Jacksonville, offering more information about care costs, local resources and financial aid.

When determining how to finance Assisted Living, it’s essential to first know the expense involved for your loved one to join a reputable community.

This data represents the average cost of Assisted Living in Jacksonville and in 128 other cities in Florida.

Inflation & the Cost of Assisted Living in Jacksonville, FL
