The median cost of assisted living in Virginia is $6,945 a month (CareScout 2025), compared with $6,200 nationally. Prices vary with the room, the level of care and the community, so ask each one for its current rate sheet.

Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Virginia's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
Virginia publishes its licensing records at dss.virginia.gov. You can also ask any community for its most recent state inspection report.
