Room prices by state and area, with medians · Guides to the 2025 fee rules
A $550,000 room is not a $550,000 bill.
The room price is a refundable deposit. You can pay it as a lump sum, as a daily payment, or a mix of both. The lump sum comes back when your parent leaves, less 2% a year for up to five years.
One real room: VMCH Corpus Christi, Classic Plus Room, at the interest rate set from 1 October 2026 (8.51%).
