Construction Cost Estimates for a Nursing Home in National, US

How Much Does it Cost to Build a Nursing Home?

The following analysis estimates the cost to build a nursing home using US National Average costs from 2019 RSMeans cost data. Costs are derived from a building model that assumes basic components, using union and open shop labor for a 25,000 square foot building.

Scope differences and market conditions can cause costs to vary significantly. To see an estimate of the costs in a specific city or metropolitan area, go to our index of nursing home models by state.
