What’s included in the monthly fee?
While most facilities describe their monthly fee as “all-inclusive” of services, in practice that means different things at different price points. Based on published pricing and direct facility information, here is what the monthly fee typically covers:
Almost always included:
- Accommodation (furnished room, with attached bathroom or a shared bathroom)
- Three meals a day (most facilities include snacks and tea too)
- 24/7 nursing or caregiver presence
- Housekeeping and laundry
- Basic health monitoring, including regular vitals checks
- Structured activities and recreation
Usually included at premium facilities (₹1 lakh+):
- Group physiotherapy
- Doctor on call
- Occupational therapy and memory stimulation activities
- AC
Rarely included at any price point:
- Medicines and personal consumables
- Individual physiotherapy sessions
- Personal subscriptions or entertainment services.
Costs beyond the monthly fee
The monthly fee is the starting point, not the final cost. Here are some other costs that need to be taken into account:
- Refundable security deposit
Every facility charges a security deposit which is for emergency, health caution deposit and is refundable at the time of exit. The facilities in Delhi NCR charge deposits ranging from ₹70,000 at budget facilities to ₹15,00,000 at premium ones, with mid range facilities charging 3-5 lakhs.
Another point to consider is that this deposit is refundable but it comes with certain conditions:
- Most facilities require a minimum stay or a notice period before refunding the deposit.
- Some deduct maintenance charge from this at the time of exit
- Almost all facilities pay no interest for the locked capital – this opportunity cost needs to be factored into your planning
- GST: Often not in the headline price
Some facilities quote prices inclusive of GST; others do not. At 18%, GST adds significantly to the base fee and should always be confirmed before comparing facilities.
- Petty cash reserve
Some facilities charge for petty cash reserves – these are for the costs such as medicines, transport to hospitals, outings. So basically for day-to-day expenses of the resident.
While this charge is not hidden, it’s easily overlooked while calculating the total upfront amount before admission.
- Annual fee escalation
The monthly fees go up every year. Most facilities in Delhi NCR build in annual escalation of around 8-12%. Some facilities state this clearly in their brochures, while others do not so always ask the same in writing.
So, for long term planning, it’s advisable to assume a 10% increase in the base fee.
- Variable expenses
One of the most underrated expenses in assisted living is out-of-pocket expenses such as electricity, medicines, physiotherapy, WiFi, which families overlook.
These can increase prices by ₹5,000-20,000/ month on top of the base fee.
Six factors that determine the final cost
1. Level of care required
This is the biggest cost driver. A resident who needs help with meals and medication pays significantly less than a resident who needs post-surgical monitoring, dementia care, or neuro rehabilitation.
- Light assistance (ADL support, medication and meals): ₹35,000- 60,000/month.
- Moderate care (regular nursing, mobility support, chronic condition management): ₹60,000–1,20,000
- High dependency (dementia, post-stroke, palliative, bedridden): ₹1,20,000–2,00,000+. Families evaluating dementia-specific support can also refer to our detailed Dementia Care Guide for Delhi-NCR covering memory care facilities, staffing, safety measures, and what to look for during evaluation.
2. Room type
Based on current Delhi NCR facility pricing, room type alone can shift the monthly cost by 35–50%.
- Twin sharing/double occupancy is usually the most affordable option.
- Single occupancy, which comes with an attached bathroom and privacy, adds significant cost.
- Premium suites have AC, attached bathroom, balcony at most facilities and cost the most.
For families where cost is a primary consideration, twin sharing is the most effective way to reduce the monthly fee.
3. Short-Term vs. Long-Term Pricing
The short term stay plans are usually on the higher end than the long term stay plans. The difference in facilities in Delhi for both the terms can be around 10-20%. That means long-term pricing costs 10-20% less than short-term pricing.
4. Location within Delhi-NCR
Location within the NCR significantly affects pricing.
- South Delhi (Vasant Kunj, Tughlakabad): ₹35,000–50,000/month. South Delhi has older, established facilities. Additionally it has the best hospital access relative to its price.
- West Delhi (Bakkarwala): ₹70,000-90,000/month. It has larger campuses, a structured environment and often higher deposits.
- Gurgaon (Sectors 39–53, DLF Phase 2, Palam Vihar): ₹90,000–2,00,000. Gurgaon has the closest proximity to Medanta, Fortis, and Artemis – a meaningful advantage for families prioritising hospital access.
- Noida (Sector 66): Noida currently has limited facility options; Antara Care Homes at ₹1,65,000/month is among the few purpose-built assisted living options in the area.
- Faridabad: ₹1,49,360 (The Golden Estate): Similar to Noida, with fewer facility options and is currently an emerging market.
5. Facility Brand and Reputation
Established national brands such as Antara Care Homes and Epoch Elder Care tend to price higher, reflecting corporate infrastructure and standardised care protocols.
Smaller independent facilities like Gracias and Panchvati may offer comparable care at lower price points.
6. Companion / Couple Occupancy
Couples or two residents sharing a room pay more than a single resident, but considerably less than two separate rooms. This makes couple occupancy one of the better cost-efficiency strategies for families.
For example, let’s take Panchvati, a single resident pays ₹36,000/month while a couple pays ₹52,000/month. This makes the per person rate drop by 28%.

Making the right choice
The cheapest option isn’t the best option and might have costs that are not fully disclosed yet. For instance, a facility that charges ₹35,000/month might require an additional ₹15,000 caregiver and ₹5,000 in electricity.
The right approach is to calculate a full cost estimate before admission: monthly fee + GST (if not included) + estimated variable costs + refundable deposit.
The choice of facility should reflect the senior’s care needs, not just the headline price.
For example if the priority is clinical care and emergency readiness – spending more on facilities that have premium services and a good tie up with hospitals might be the right choice.
For those whose priority is companionship alongside care and a home-like environment, a community-style option like Panchvati would be a better fit.
