Price going up to live at the La Salle County Nursing Home

The cost of staying at the La Salle County Nursing Home is going up.

When December 1st rolls around, the price of a private room at the nursing home in Ottawa will go up from $145 to $148 per day. A semi-private room will cost $143 per day while an expanded semi-private room will be $146 a day. Both of those prices are also $3 more than the current rate.

Nursing Home Committee Chairman Gary Small says the cost is still well below what you have to pay to stay at a private nursing home.

The rate increase was $5 more a day last year.
