Factors that Influence Home Care Costs

These are the key factors involved in determining exactly what you'll pay for home care services. Note that if your loved one's needs change over time, our costs can be adjusted based on greater or lesser assistance required.

Costs vary based on these items:

• Number of hours needed per week
• Type of care required (senior companionship versus round-the-clock care)
• Schedule and timing (weekday versus holiday & weekend rates)
• Level of mobility and health conditions
• Geographic location and caregivers’ travel times

At Visiting Angels in East Cincinnati, we require a minimum of 4 hours per visit and 12 hours per week. Our rates are $35.00 per hour on weekdays and $40.00 on weekends. For couples who both need assistance, our office offers a special rate of $45.00 per hour.

Visiting Angels Costs Per Month

To understand what you might be spending each month on home care, we’d like to share some examples of programs that have worked for other clients in our area. We can help your family plan and budget for your loved one's home care.

Daniel, Mulberry

Meet Daniel, a 78-year-old man widowed just two years ago. His daughter works full time and has three kids at home. She visits her dad almost every weekend but she just can’t carve out the time to be there for him when he needs her during the week.

Daniel purchases 12 hours of senior companion care each week. His caregiver visits three times a week for four-hour blocks. They do all sorts of activities together ranging from 250 and 500-piece puzzles, cooking new recipes, going out to eat together and watching all of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster action movies. Sometimes they just sit and talk about old times or play cards.

So, Daniel’s monthly program costs $1,680. It is paid from his retirement account. His daughter tells us it's worth every dollar knowing her dad isn't isolated and has someone to share his days with.

Weekly Hours: 12 hours
Monthly Hours: 48 hours
Monthly Cost at $35.00 per hour: $1,680.00

Josephine, East Cincinnati

Josephine, aged 93, has progressive Alzheimer's and lives with her son now in East Cincinnati, Ohio. Though he works remotely from home most days, he can't provide the level of care that she needs all day long.

Josephine receives 25 hours of care each week, split between five weekday visits. Our caregiver helps her with her personal hygiene activities to make sure she is always clean and comfortable as well as keep up with all the daily chores to keep the household running on autopilot. Josephine sometimes forgets who people are, but she's formed a very strong bond to her regular caregiver over these last several months.

Her son pays for home care by using a combination of his mother's savings and her long-term care insurance policy that covered a portion of their costs too. Without home care, Josephine would need memory care in a facility, but that costs a lot more nor was it hers or her son’s preference.

Weekly Hours: 25 hours
Monthly Hours: 100 hours
Monthly Cost at $35.00 per hour: $3,500

How to Pay For Home Care

Most families fund home care through one of several methods. We want to work with you to make home care affordable and sustainable for your loved one.

Avoid Assisted Living and Stay Home Instead

While we can and often do provide support to seniors who live in assisted living facilities like StoryPoint, we recognize that many seniors prefer to stay in their own homes if they have a say in the matter.

When your loved one needs more help than you can provide on your own, Visiting Angels is a reliable option. Our home care services are intended to help your loved one stay in their home surrounded by their own belongings. We bring professional caregivers to them instead of having to move into a new place for care.

Call our Cincinnati office at 513-898-1440 for a price quote today. We'll send our care coordinator to the client’s home to talk through what they need, their safety, and things they are having trouble doing on their own to customize an affordable care plan.
