How Much Does Home Care Cost?


How Much Does Home Care Cost? | ComForCare - image-callout-home-careAt some point, most families will need to explore senior care services for a loved one. For many people, however, a private room in a nursing home can be prohibitively expensive. It can also feel isolating and disruptive to the routines their loved one has grown accustomed to. In-home care presents an attractive alternative.

While in-home elder care can be a significant investment, there are several payment options and funding sources that can help ease the cost. At ComForCare, we can connect you with resources and programs which may help. Together we'll create a plan of care and a number of hours that is not only affordable but ensures your loved one receives the best in-home care possible.

The personal care aides at ComForCare understand providing care for your elder family member can be challenging. There are many levels of care available, as well as benefits you may not be aware of.

Home Care Tends to be Least Expensive Option

How Much Does Home Care Cost? | ComForCare - image-resources-homecare-costHome care is generally less expensive than other senior care options. Nursing home costs may range from about $200 to $250 each day for a basic room and care, adding up to a national average of about $5,600 to $7,000 a month. Assisted living facilities may cost about $3,300 per month for a simple one-bedroom unit.

The final cost of in-home care will vary considerably depending on the intensity of the client’s unique needs and the state they live in, but it usually remains considerably lower than these options. For example, the national average cost of home health care (8 hours per week) is $693.

Here are some potential sources for funding needed care:
  • Public resources
  • Long-term insurance
  • Veterans benefits
  • Workers’ compensation insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Reverse mortgage funding
  • Private payments
  • Family member payments

Save Family Members’ Time

When unexpected events occur in seniors’ lives such as injuries and condition complications, family caregivers generally have to miss work to assist with transportation, wait at the hospital for diagnoses, and help with transitional or ongoing care.

Home care services and skilled nursing care from ComForCare can help family members avoid missing work by preventing these types of unexpected occurrences. If accidents do happen, our caregivers can also provide transportation, support, and at-home medical care. 

While family members typically want to be with a loved one after medical events occur, the pressure is alleviated, and the need to miss work is not as pressing. This may be viewed as a time and cost savings, as well as a benefit for your loved one.
