What You Can Expect to Pay in the Chattanooga Area

Every family has different care needs, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all price for home care. While most families in the Chattanooga area can expect to pay approximately $25–$35 per hour, your exact rate will depend on the schedule and level of support your loved one requires.

Typical examples include:

• Part-time care (4 hours per day): approximately $600–$1,200 per week
• Full-time daytime care (8 hours per day): approximately $1,400–$2,800 per week
• 24-hour home care: pricing varies based on caregiver scheduling and individual care needs

These estimates are provided as general examples. During your free consultation, we'll provide an accurate quote based on your family's specific situation.

What Determines the Cost of Your Loved One's Care?

Several factors influence the overall cost of home care. Because every care plan is personalized, you only pay for the services your loved one truly needs.

Factors that affect pricing include:

• The number of care hours scheduled each week
• The type of care required, such as companion care or hands-on personal care
• Daytime, overnight, weekend, or around-the-clock scheduling
• Specialized support for Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia
• Whether long-term care insurance or VA benefits help offset costs

Unlike many providers, Visiting Angels Chattanooga charges one flat hourly rate regardless of the day or time services are provided. The only exception is certain major holidays, which are billed at time-and-a-half. We also do not require a weekly minimum number of service hours, giving families maximum flexibility.

Three Ways Families Pay for Home Care

Many families are surprised to learn there are several options available to help cover the cost of care.

Private Pay

Private pay is the most common payment method and offers the greatest flexibility. Families pay directly for services using retirement savings, pensions, Social Security income, investments, or other personal resources.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Many long-term care insurance policies cover non-medical home care services. Our office can help review your policy, explain available benefits, and even handle long-term care insurance billing at no additional cost whenever possible.

Veterans Benefits

Eligible veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for financial assistance through the VA Aid & Attendance benefit, which can help offset the cost of home care. Our team is happy to help determine eligibility, explain available programs, and assist families throughout the application and billing process.
