The cost of home care is determined by various factors such as:

• The number of hours of care required and the type of services provided.
• Additional fees may apply for specialized services (e.g., dementia care) or extended hours.
• Rates can vary depending on the agency, location, and the caregiver’s qualifications.
• Other factors include holidays, weekends, and overnight shifts, all of which typically add a differential rate to the base rate.
• Some services may be covered by long-term care insurance or veteran benefits. However, not all agencies will submit claims on the client’s behalf.
