RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The cost of long-term care services in Hawaii increased year-over-year, exceeding national costs, according to the 2024 Cost of Care Survey conducted by Genworth and CareScout.

“Genworth and CareScout are committed to helping our customers in Hawaii create person-centered plans for how they want to receive care as they age,” said Jamala Arland, President & CEO, Genworth U.S. Life Insurance. “That means integrating a person’s values, preferences, and goals into the care they receive. The Cost of Care Survey is a great resource for individuals starting to create a plan, who want to learn more about different care types and see how costs may grow over time.”

About the Cost of Care Survey
The annual Cost of Care Survey, one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, contacted more than 140,000 long-term care providers nationwide to complete more than 15,000 surveys for nursing homes, assisted living communities, adult day health facilities and home care providers from July to December 2024. The survey collected rates for 2024 and includes 431 regions based on the Metropolitan Statistical Areas, defined by the Office of Management and Budget as a core area containing a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. However, due to statistical variance, actual costs for long-term care services may differ from the projected cost based on ZIP Code or location.
