What a Bennington County plan should budget for

Vermont publishes no county-level cost data, so Bennington County budgeting starts from the state medians — $103,137 a year for assisted living, $45.00 an hour for non-medical home care — and then turns on how many of the 13 local settings can actually meet the need. Where that number is small, waiting-list position and willingness to travel decide more than price comparison does.
