Guide
Home care brings non-medical support and companionship into a person’s own home, helping with daily tasks and safety so your loved one can age in place with dignity. Some providers also offer home health care, which includes skilled nursing and therapy.
Not everyone wants, or needs, to move into a community. Home care plans are flexible, from a few hours a week to live-in support, and include respite care that gives family caregivers a break.
• Seniors who prefer to stay at home with some support
• People recovering from surgery or illness
• Those who need help with routines, not full-time supervision
• Anyone who would benefit from companionship
• Families needing cover while a caregiver is away
• Help with bathing, dressing and grooming
• Meal preparation and light housekeeping
• Medication reminders
• Transportation and errands
• Companionship and emotional support
• Safety monitoring and fall prevention
• Hourly care, daily or weekly
• Live-in care for round-the-clock support
• Respite care to give family caregivers a break
• Specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or mobility needs
• Post-hospital recovery support

Most older adults would rather stay in their own home for as long as possible. The right home care can make that safe and sustainable.
Staying at home means keeping familiar rooms, routines, neighbors, pets and memories. For many people, especially those living with dementia, that familiarity brings real comfort and stability.
A home caregiver focuses on one person at a time, so support can be tailored to their needs, preferences and pace, from how they like their breakfast to when they prefer to bathe.
Care can start with a few hours a week and increase as needs change, all the way to live-in support. For lighter needs, home care can cost less than moving into a residential community.
Respite care gives family caregivers time to rest, work, travel or simply recharge, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. Regular breaks help prevent caregiver burnout.
Home care is usually charged by the hour. In 2025, the national median for a non-medical in-home caregiver working 44 hours a week was $80,080 a year, which works out at roughly 5 an hour. CareScout now reports home health aide and homemaker services together under this one category.
Your actual cost depends on your location, how many hours you need, and the type of care. Many agencies have a minimum visit length, and evening, weekend, holiday and live-in care are often priced differently. For daytime support with lower costs, adult day programs had a national median of $26,000 a year (five days a week).

• Private payment from savings and income
• Long-term care insurance, if your loved one has a policy
• Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) programs, depending on your state and eligibility
• VA programs for eligible veterans, such as Aid & Attendance and homemaker and home health aide services
Good to know: Medicare may cover part-time, doctor-ordered home health care (such as skilled nursing or therapy) for people who are homebound, but it doesn’t cover ongoing non-medical help with daily living.
The terms can be confusing. Here’s how home care compares with similar types of support.
Home care is non-medical: help with bathing, dressing, meals, housework and companionship. Home health care is medical care at home from licensed professionals, such as nurses and therapists, usually ordered by a doctor.
Respite care is short-term care that gives a family caregiver a break. It can be provided at home for a few hours or days, or as a short stay in an assisted living or memory care community.
Home care keeps your loved one at home with one-to-one support for set hours. Assisted living offers 24-hour staff and a built-in social life. When care is needed around the clock, assisted living is often more affordable.
Adult day programs provide supervised activities, meals and social time in a group setting during the day. Many families combine them with home care in the mornings or evenings.
You’re inviting someone into your loved one’s home, so trust matters. Ask every agency you speak to:
• Are you licensed in this state, insured and bonded?
• How do you screen caregivers, and do you run background checks?
• What training do caregivers receive, including dementia care?
• Are caregivers employees of the agency or contractors?
• Is there a minimum number of hours per visit or week?
• Will we usually see the same caregiver?
• What happens if a caregiver is sick or can’t make a visit?
• Who creates the care plan, and how often is it reviewed?
• How are caregivers supervised?
• How do you handle complaints or emergencies?
Tip: Licensing rules for home care agencies vary by state. Check your state’s health department or licensing website to confirm an agency is in good standing.
What services does home care include?
Home care typically includes help with bathing, dressing and grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation and errands, companionship, and safety monitoring. Some agencies also offer specialized dementia care and post-hospital support.
How much does home care cost per hour?
Based on the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey, the national median for a non-medical in-home caregiver (CareScout now groups home health aide and homemaker services together) is roughly $35 an hour. Rates vary by location, schedule and the type of care needed.
Does Medicare pay for home care?
Medicare may cover part-time skilled home health care, such as nursing or therapy, when it’s ordered by a doctor and the person is homebound. It doesn’t cover ongoing non-medical home care, like help with daily living or companionship, when that’s the only care needed.
What is respite care, and how long can it last?
Respite care is temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. It can be a few hours of in-home help, a full day, or a short stay of a few days or weeks in a senior living community. Ask providers about minimum and maximum stays.
Is live-in care available?
Yes, many agencies offer live-in or 24-hour care for people who need support day and night. It’s usually priced differently from hourly care, so ask for a written quote and check how breaks and overnight hours are handled.
