How Much Does Senior Home Care Cost?
It’s commonly accepted that the vast majority of people want to stay at home as they age. In fact, according to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), 89% of people age 50 and older said they would prefer to remain in their home indefinitely as they age. Unfortunately, for families researching how to make this possible for their aging loved ones, the process can be overwhelming. Finding the right, helpful information when looking for care for aging parents can be very difficult in a sea of providers. One of the most common questions, if not the most common question, we hear almost every day is, “how much does private duty, senior home care cost?” It’s the most natural question in the world. Whether we’re looking for care for ourselves or those we love, the financial impact certainly has to be considered.
Costs may vary depending on the level of care required as well as your location.
Pricing for a certified caregiver costs up to $38 an hour. We recommend that you give us a call so that we can provide you with a quote for your location and you can book your complimentary Caring Consult with one of our expert Care Designers. During the Caring Consult, the Care Designer will work with you to develop a care plan based on your needs.
Unfortunately, this is one of the most elusive questions to have answered directly when researching senior home care in part because cost is very much dependent on each situation. Each particular client can have a variety of needs and the cost depends on that situation. Unfortunately, this has created the myth that home care is expensive. In fact, we work to deliver an affordable, flexible solution that can work within virtually any budget.
While most families think their parent will need full-time care, that is rarely the case. The vast majority of our clients receive a few hours of care per day, a few days per week – when they need it. A flexible solution that provides care only when clients need it helps keep home care services affordable – in many cases even more affordable than private facilities. In fact, home care clients of Nurse Next Door can have professional, supportive care in their own homes for less than $100 per week. To give you a better idea, here are a few typical scenarios and the customized solutions we’ve been able to create. Of course, names have been changed (we value privacy!).
Scenario 1 – Mr. & Mrs. Klein
Mr. & Mrs. Klein have lived in the same home for the last 30 years. They have managed on their own quite well but a few months ago, Mr. Klein had a fall. Mrs. Klein had to take over more of the daily chores and the couple gave up their regular walks to the park as they were afraid Mr. Klein might fall again.
The couple now has a caregiver, Linda, from Nurse Next Door come in twice a week for three hour visits. On one visit each week she’ll take care of the laundry, cleaning and other household chores Mr. & Mrs. Klein were struggling with. On the other, she takes care of the weekly grocery shopping before taking the couple on a walk together. She’s able to provide Mr. Klein a little added support while walking and of course provides Mrs. Klein peace of mind.
Solution: 3 hours / day, 2 visits / week
Approximate cost: $550 / month
Scenario 2 – Mrs. Malone
Mrs. Malone is 81 years old, and as she has grown older, she has struggled with the mobility of her hands. Doing simple things like buttoning up her blouse, or bathing has become a more difficult task. A caregiver is hired to help her bathe, get dressed, and even put her favorite earrings on – she still loves looking great! Other visits consist of taking Mrs. Malone grocery shopping, to her appointments, cooking delicious meals together, and setting up her pill box for the week, to ensure she remembers to take her medications.
Solution: 4 hours / day, 3 visits / week
Approximate cost: $1500 / month
Scenario 3 – Mr. Brown
Mr. Brown has ALS and was paralyzed from the waist down at the time he first became a Nurse Next Door client. Caregivers focused on personal care and assisting Mr. Brown on outings and getting to appointments. As his condition advanced, and his paralysis moved up his body, a Tracheotomy procedure was required, and the tasks to take care of Mr. Brown changed. The caregivers all attended training provided and funded internally by Nurse Next Door, in order to know how to effectively use the instruments necessary to care for Mr. Brown, to service his required needs. Luckily, in doing this, he is able stay in his home, as he has wanted.
Solution: 7 hours / day, 5 visits / week
Approximate cost: $4000 / month
Of course included in each of these solutions are some tremendously valuable benefits including a Perfect Match caregiver, care management by an experience Care Designer as well as around-the-clock access to a team of specialists who can help families when emergencies arise.
Our services page outlines more of what each level of service covers. Typically, our clients only need our first level of care as they begin to age, as a preventative measure before something happens or conditions worsen. Our Care Designers find a Perfect Match caregiver for each client based on not only their clinical needs, but also their passions, interests and hobbies. Need someone who can speaks Italian and loves the opera? No problem! We then create customized care plans that help keep our clients at home and provide caregiving family members peace of mind.
If these home care services sound like they could help your loved one live at home longer, we’d love to set up a FREE Caring Consult™ to build a senior home care plan catered to your needs and your budget.
Give us a call toll-free at +1(877) 588-8609 to get started!

Nursing homes typically charge higher fees than residential homes because they also provide specialist medical care. A nursing home can cost between £500 and £1,100 a week, with the average cost approximately £36,000 per year. The cost of a care home will depend on the type of accommodation, where it is located and the services it provides. However, you will not be expected to meet all these costs yourself.

I would like to have someone to come for about one week so my husband and I can take a much needed vacation. We have been my mother’s 94 caregivers in our home now for about 5 years now. What we would need is someone to come for dinner each night to give her dinner and pills, her insulin shot after and spend the night. They will need to give her breakfast before leaving for the day and make sure she takes her pills, leave a sandwich for her lunch and repeat this routine each evening again. Other than this she can be left in the daytime. She really prefers to be left alone to watch tv during the day and night. Do you have this service available and what would be the cost for the week?
Thank you, Sandi

My Dad is 90, my Mom is 82 and does not drive . We, his three children, live the closest, 2 1/2 from their house. At various times he needs help getting to Dr appointments, and even though family lives close by, we, his children, do not want to keep inconveniencing them.
They would need help getting to Dr appointments, helping my Mom and Dad take short walks outside, and any other Dr appointments my Mom might have .
My Dad is still driving, but won’t be long before he is no longer able to.
Thank you

My Dad is 90, my Mom is 82 and does not drive . We, his three children, live the closest, 2 1/2 from their house. At various times he needs help getting to Dr appointments, and even though family lives close by, we, his children, do not want to keep inconveniencing them.
They would need help getting to Dr appointments, helping my Mom and Dad take short walks outside, and any other Dr appointments my Mom might have .
My Dad is still driving, but won’t be long before he is no longer able to.
Thank you

My husband has been in a wheelchair for 3 months as a result of slowly progressive weakness from nerve damage due to spinal cord stenosis that required surgery in October of 2014. I would love to keep him at home forever. Until now I have handled things by myself, but it is becoming increasingly difficult. I currently need help with transfers from bed to chair in am, chair to toilet, chair to bed in pm, and showers. Do you have anyone in our area that could help us?

My father has been in skilled nursing home for 6 months now. He still would rather be in his small 2 bedroom apartment. He needs a daily wound care treatment and someone to attend to all his personal needs. During the day he mostly sits and watches TV…but I’m afraid he’ll fall if left alone. Not sure if 24 hours care is essential, but certainly during his waking hours.

It is very diffiult to get any answers from Nurse Next Door. All I got was an email answer and when I reply to that it is an auto reply that the person is away, then I got a follow up that they would phone me at 2200 hours, are they located in Australia (where it is morning at that time at the W#est Coast. I gave up and look elsewhere. Why not have some answers readily available.
How much would you charge for one or two nights spent with my my Mom after she comes back from hospital.
New to this. Don’t know where to look or even begin.
My mother had brain surgery and is now at home. She is on heavy antibiotics for 5 weeks. Need in home care for twice a day for 5 weeks. Not sure what the price would be or how to even find out.
Any kind of information would be great.
My mother is 83 and lives on her own. She is suffering from Dementia and is being tested for Alzheimer. She is very capable of taking care of herself which includes getting her own groceries, shopping and does like to take walks. She has a routine or walking to the mall each day and back. She is however, forgetting to take her medication. What would it cost to have someone come in once daily to giver her the medication?

Hello,
My mom is 75 years old with dementia. She broke her right hip last October and just recently had another fall and sustained a pelvis fracture. She is currently in hospital awaiting a bed in Rehab.
I don’t want to put her in a nursing home and prefer that she stay with my dad, as they are currently living together.
Are there any other options for my mom’s care to be handled in house and how much would this cost? Could this be covered by OHIP as my mom is disabled and my dad cannot afford it as he is retired on a very fixed income but they don’t want to be apart?
Thank you for your time.

Hello,
My mother is 72, and was just released from the hospital to rehab. She wants to be at home. Right now she can’t stand on her own or get into and out of a chair or bed without the assistance of two people. She also is on dialysis. We are hoping she will be more mobile after rehab, but want to know what the options and cost are for a home nurse.
Thank you!
Hi Katie,
Thank you for contacting us. We are happy to discuss options and costs with you. We’ll have someone contact you shortly with more details. Have a great day!
I need help for my mother very quickly. I honestly don’t think she will last very much longer and I desperately need her to come home because that is what she wants. She honestly won’t need that much care. I will be here 24/7 to feed her and everything. I can’t change her diaper though or do anything with medicine.
We require a nurse to be there through the night. My Dad is in palative care at home and requires assistance through the night. Administer meds, keep an eye on him and be able to help him to his feet to go to the bathroom. 11pm to 5 or 6 am.mon to friday

My mother is 89 but fully cognitive. Unfortunately she suffered a stroke which effected her occipital lobe and therefore her vision. She was unable to go home. Currently she is in a nursing home and it is fine as far as care but she is not getting any mental stimulation for people she can carry on a conversation with as, most of the residents in the nursing home have dementia/alzheimers. I feel horrible that she is in a place where her needs are met physically but not mentally. I would like to bring her home, but I do have to work full time. What would be the best solution in terms of care. She can still dress herself but she needs meals, someone to give her meds and companionship. She needs assistance for bathing and person care.
Hi Shelley,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your mother’s story. Cognitive stimulation is important and our caregivers come to clients’ homes to ensure all tasks are being done but also to build relationships and carry out conversations. We’ll have someone contact you shortly as you definitely contacted the right place!
Hi, My mom is 73 and lives in her own suite downstairs. She may need a few hours a week to help her, with some cleaning, laundry and groceries. Does a seniors benefit help to pay for that of homecare with the financial part. She pays rent here, and doesn’t leave her much left over. Thank you Lorrie Baer

Trying to find an alternative for my 90 year old Grandpa. He needs a lot of care, but prefers to stay at ‘his’ house. Need pricing, please?
My mother is 73 and has dimentia. It is progressing quickly. She can no longer go to the bathroom on her own, she does not remember how to cut her food. Sometimes i can see that she is struggling to remember how to eat. I was the only caregiver until i was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. My sister in law movec in to help us out. But it seems like i am still doing all the work. I work full time and have gone threw chemo and radiation, surgery and i start another 4 months of chemo. Im exhausted. I love my mom and would love for her to stay with us. I dont know what to do. People tell me its time for her to go into a home that can provide for her better and also so i can concentrate on beating my own battle. I dont know which direction to go.
Hi Shelley,

Can you just ask for help here and there and perhaps more than 2 hours sometimes. Will be pleased to hear from you. Just want to take a load off my daughter some times.
Thank you. Patricia Achen

My Dad is suffering from Alzheimer/Dimensia for sometime now.
My parents are moving from AZ to HI this month. My brother will be their care-giver for the time being until he finds a job. I think we are looking for help for three days (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) from either 8 – 10 hrs @ day.
My Dad needs help mainly with his incontinence and keeping him mentally as well as physically active during that time. Since both of my parents are retired with a fixed income; we are looking for part time help as I mentioned.
Can you give me some type of feedback or estimate on your services?
Appreciate your time.
Mahalo,

How old do u have to be to do Homecare
Hi Tania,
If you want to work in home care, you will need a Registered Care Aide certification.
My father has dementia and is unable to communicate. He speaks but mostly doesn’t make sense nor does he recognize people. He is in a residence, though he can walk with a walker and a guide, and can mostly feed himself. The staff at the residence is overwhelmed and don’t have much time to do more than basic feeding, washing… It would be great if he could be at home and someone could assist with these basics as my 80 year mother cannot. I live in Toronto but my parents live in Laval, Quebec. I have no idea if there is an affordable solution. Grateful for some info
Thank you
Manuela

My Dad has a severe heart condition. Currently he is in the hospital and under intensive care; however the doctors will release him in one week granted everything is ok. I live with him but I do not have a medical background. I need someone to come in 3 or 4 times a week to check vitals and ensure he is progressing appropriately. I maintain the rest of the residence but could use some help with the medical matters.
