Home Care Costs

The question of how much home care will cost is usually one of the first questions families ask when looking for care options for a loved one. At Visiting Angels, we know these conversations are personal, and for that reason we want to provide clear, honest information to help you make decisions that are best for your family. In many situations, in-home care provides an option to keep seniors in their own home while giving them a safe alternative to moving into a nursing home or assisted living community. Or, for those living in assisted living, it provides an option for additional care without needing to to the next tier in the care plan provided by the facility.

Here you will find a breakdown of what to expect when it comes to home care costs in the Chaska, MN area, options for financial assistance, and our approach to billing so you aren't faced with surprises along the way. Visiting Angels provides home care services that are flexible so your loved one receives the needed support while avoiding unnecessary costs. For example, if you don't require a 24-hour or full-day caregiver, you can modify the hours and support to fit your budget and schedule.

Our in-home care services provide:

• Assistance with activities of daily living
• Daytime, evening, awake overnight, and 24-hour care
• Long-distance care for families caring for loved ones from afar
• Occasional respite care
• Specialized services, like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia care
• Temporary or long-term support
• Weekday, weekend, or holiday visits
• Wellness services for seniors needing weekly or every-other-week check-ins but who aren't ready for regular home care
• And much more!

Affordable Senior Care Options

We get it, home care costs can be overwhelming, which is why we work with families to look into different payment options. In addition to private pay, Visiting Angels West Metro accepts:

Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI)

Long-term care insurance is one of the most common ways families supplement in-home care. These policies can help pay for personal care, Alzheimer’s care, and respite care. Our team is experienced in working directly with insurance providers to help determine eligibility, process claims and understand coverage details.

Veterans Benefits

We proudly serve those who have served our country. Veterans and sometimes surviving spouses may be eligible for support through Aid and Attendance benefits or the Community Care Network. These programs are available to help cover the cost of daily care and assistance at home. Our staff is happy to assist with walking you through the application process and documentation once approved.

Private Pay

Most Visiting Angels clients pay out-of-pocket—or “private pay”—which means they pay through their own funds. Often, the funds are from individual retirement accounts (IRA), pensions, Social Security benefits, 401(k), or other savings.

FAQs About Home Care Costs

What Is the Cost Of Assisted Living vs. Home Care?

Costs vary across the U.S. for assisted living and home care services. However, assisted living usually comes with a higher price tag — and often requires individuals to make a significant, up-front financial deposit before moving in. According to Genworth, the monthly average cost of a nursing home or assisted living facility is between $8,000-$9,500. Professional home care is a more personal option at a lower cost.

At an senior-living facility, residents often pay one price for 24/7 care, whether they need it or not. While assisted living facilities can offer amenities, like exercise facilities, social clubs, trips, and meal plans, these features increase the overall cost of care, especially if they go unused.

In-home care offers flexibility and cost savings if your loved one needs help with specific activities or at certain times of day. Visiting Angels will customize a schedule for your loved one so you’re not paying for services that aren’t needed. We can adjust services as your loved one’s needs change.

Does Medicare or Health Insurance Cover Home Care?

Typically, Medicare and standard health insurance do not pay for non-medical home care services like personal care assistance or companionship. However, there are some short-term medical health services (such as nursing, PT/OT) could be covered if prescribed by a physician, but typically only for around 30 days.

If My Loved One Has Complex Needs, Can We Still Get In-Home Care?

At Visiting Angels Chaska, all of our caregivers are trained in:

• Alzheimer’s care
• Dementia care
• Parkinson's Care
  End-of-life support

Our caregivers can also provide services for older adults in assisted living facilities who need additional one-on-one support.
