How Much Does In Home Care Cost?

We've written about the hourly rate and the factors that move it. This is the total-cost version — what a few realistic weekly schedules actually add up to.

A Few Hours a Week: Light Support

At around 6-10 hours a week — a few visits for companionship, light assistance, and errands — weekly costs typically land somewhere in the $150-$420 range at our rates, depending on the specific hours and level of support.

Daily Visits: Moderate Support

At around 20-28 hours a week — daily visits covering personal care, meals, and supervision — weekly costs typically run roughly $500-$1,180, again depending on the specific schedule and care level.

Extended Daily Coverage: Significant Support

At 40+ hours a week — most of the waking day covered — weekly costs scale up accordingly, generally in the $1,000-$1,680 range and beyond for the most extensive hourly coverage.

Live-In or 24/7: The Most Intensive Option

Live-in and round-the-clock coverage price differently than straight hourly multiplication — we've written a full breakdown of how that math works, since live-in care is generally more cost-effective than continuous shift coverage.

Why These Are Ranges, Not a Single Number

Your actual cost depends on the specific level of care needed — general companionship sits toward the lower end of our $25-$42/hr range, while specialized dementia support sits toward the higher end.

What Can Offset These Costs

VA benefits like Aid & Attendance can cover a meaningful part of the total for veterans and surviving spouses. We've written extensively about VA benefits for home care.
