Planning Senior Care Costs in Retirement

Medical alert systems, hearing aids, walk-in tubs, stair lifts, and Medicare premiums are recurring costs that compound over a 20–30 year retirement. Planning them into your savings model early prevents mid-retirement surprises.

Estimated annual senior care costs to model in your retirement plan:

  • Medical alert system monitoring: $240–$540/year
  • Medigap Plan G premium: $1,200–$3,000/year
  • Hearing aid amortization: $200–$800/year
  • Home modification reserve (walk-in tub, stair lift): $500–$1,500/year equivalent
  • Total senior care budget (moderate): $2,500–$6,000/year

Use the Compound Interest and Savings Goal Calculator to see how a $3,000–$6,000/year senior care budget affects your retirement runway over 15, 20, and 25 years.
