Cost of home health care in Massachusetts
● Massachusetts $7,627 ○ National median $6,769
Median costs for home health care versus Massachusetts and the middle state nationally. The 25th and 75th percentile rows are the modeled range explained on the methodology page; in the national column they are percentiles across state medians. Figures are estimates, not quotes. Home health is priced here at the survey's merged rate for non-medical home caregivers, because the survey no longer prices skilled nursing or therapy visits separately. Skilled visits are usually billed per visit.

Why is this number different on other websites? Many directories quote a community's "starting at" rent, before care fees. This figure is the state survey median. It is an estimate to plan against, not a quote; ask each provider for its own number in writing. Our methodology →
What home care really costs by the hour
Hourly math uses the survey standard of 44 hrs/week when a sourced in-home monthly median is published for this city. We do not invent an hourly rate before that figure exists.
Ways families typically pay
- Private pay (savings, income, home equity)
