21 Lincoln communities on Senior Places have a starting price on file, and 12 of them show the same figure, $4,380 a month. That number is a market estimate for the area rather than a rate each community quoted, so treat it as a ballpark. The quoted prices on file run from $3,500 to $5,800 a month. A starting price is the lowest monthly rate on a community's listing, usually a shared or studio room at the lightest level of care; some listings carry a market estimate instead of a quoted rate. Care fees, level-of-care charges and a second-person fee are added on top, so ask every community for an all-in monthly quote for the care your person needs.
