Nursing home costs continue to rise.
That can be a major challenge to families trying to care for their children and their aging parents.
But despite the expense, the AARP says Kansas is actually one of the most affordable states for nursing home care.
They released a study with the average nursing home care costs for each of the 50 states.
Out of the 50 states, Kansas is one of the least expensive, when it comes to the cost of nursing home care.
The most expensive state is Alaska at 515 dollars a day average nursing home care costs.
The cheapest is Louisiana at $125 per day.
Kansas is the 3rd least expensive out of all 50 states. Here, it costs an average of 133 dollars a day to care for a resident in a nursing home.
Even though it is less expensive in Kansas, it's still not cheap for a family on a budget. At $133 per day for nursing home care, that adds up to $48,545 dollars every year.
