Methodology
Why is this number different on other websites? Most sites average "starting at" prices. Base rent, before care fees. We estimate the full monthly cost families actually pay. Budget from the all-in number. 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)
  • Long-term care insurance
  • VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses
  • Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) waivers, where eligible. Rules vary by state

Medicare generally does not cover long-term custodial care. State-specific Medicaid waiver guides are coming soon.
