How Much Do Nursing Homes Cost? Factors That Determine the Price

Nursing home and care home prices vary significantly depending on whether the institution is state-supported or private, the city it’s located in, the room type (single/double occupancy), and the intensity of care needed (general life support or 24/7 medical monitoring). For state-supported nursing homes, the Ministry of Family and Social Services publishes an updated fee schedule every year; at private institutions, the price is determined by the institution based on the scope of the service offered. At GAYA Huzurevi too, pricing is shaped according to your loved one’s real needs and shared with you personally.

What Are the Main Factors That Determine the Price?

Among the most important factors affecting a nursing home or care home’s price are room type (single, double or shared), the city and neighborhood it’s located in, the intensity of care offered (general life support or intensive medical monitoring), and additional services (such as physiotherapy, a special diet program, or escort). Even if two institutions are in the same city, if the scope of service they offer differs, their prices can also differ significantly.

The Price Difference Between State-Supported and Private Institutions

At state-supported nursing homes, fees are applied according to an official schedule set by the ministry and updated every year; the application and admission process at these institutions also depends on certain criteria (such as income status, health report). At private institutions, pricing is more flexible and shaped according to the scope of the service offered. We covered other differences between state and private institutions in detail in our article State Nursing Home or Private Nursing Home?

Why Is Giving “One Single Price” Misleading?

You may see some institutions in the industry sharing a clear figure on their website; however, a price given without a real needs assessment often doesn’t reflect reality. Whether an individual only needs social support or 24/7 nurse monitoring directly affects the price. This is why serious institutions first assess the individual’s condition, then offer a price suited to it.

How Does Pricing Work at GAYA Huzurevi?

At GAYA Huzurevi, pricing is shaped personally according to your loved one’s needs. Which of our 13 different services are needed — from Alzheimer’s care to palliative care, from physiotherapy to 24/7 nurse and doctor monitoring — directly affects the price.

What Should You Pay Attention to When Asking About Price?

When speaking with an institution, ask clearly not just about the monthly fee, but what’s included in that fee (such as nutrition, hygiene products, social activities) and what services require additional payment. A transparent institution shares this information without hesitation when you request it; we also covered this topic in our article Choosing a Care Home: What Should You Pay Attention To?
