Methodology
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)
  • 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.
