Our locally-owned and operated senior care agency keeps home care costs in Vancouver, Washington affordable by offering families short-term care options without a weekly minimum. To keep home care affordable, we take a personalized approach to the process of planning and delivering care. We'll begin by learning more about your loved one's daily needs, whether you as a family caregiver need regular support or relief, and your estimated budget for care.
Contact UsAverage Cost of Home Care Aide in Vancouver
Visiting Angels in Vancouver charges an hourly rate for home care services. What your hourly rate will be depends on the type of care your loved one needs, how often one of our caregivers will visit, and how many hours per week are involved.
Generally speaking, companion care and light housekeeping will run lower than personal care or dementia care which require more from the caregiver.
The average cost of home care in Vancouver runs around $40 to $55 per hour depending on the agency. By comparison, the average cost of assisted living in Washington is about $5,500 to $6,500 per month.
When you see the numbers, it’s clear that home care is a more affordable option especially if your loved one doesn't need round-the-clock supervision.
Most home care agencies require 12 to 15 hours a week minimum. We don’t. No minimums, no contracts, no locked-in terms.
💰 Cost Scenario: Margie in Salmon Creek
Margie is 79 and lives in Salmon Creek. After she fell last winter, her daughter contacted our Vancouver office and spoke with Amy Loudenback about arranging a caregiver visit. Margie’s needs were fairly simple. She mainly needed help a few mornings each week with bathing, getting dressed, and preparing breakfast.
During the in-home consultation, our care coordinator created a care plan for just 8 hours per week. Her caregiver now visits three mornings each week. On shower days, visits run a little longer, while other visits focus on breakfast preparation, light tidying, and making sure Margie has everything she needs before the caregiver leaves.
Monthly Care Cost Breakdown
| Weekly hours: | 8 hours |
| Monthly hours: | Approximately 34 hours |
| Hourly rate: | ~$45 per hour |
| Estimated monthly cost: | $1,530 |
As you can see, Margie’s monthly home care costs are well below the price of assisted living. Most importantly, she gets to remain in the home she loves while receiving the support she needs.
Paying for Visiting Angels Home Care
Most of our clients are private pay. We work with families of all budgets, and we don't disqualify anyone based on what they can spend. That's why we do not require weekly hour minimums where other home care agencies do; usually it’s a 12-15 hour requirement per week.
If you have long-term care insurance, check your policy to see if it covers a portion of home care costs. There are some that do!
Visiting Angels Vancouver also partners with Veterans Affairs to provide free home care through the Homemaker/Home Health Aide (H/HHA) program. If you or your spouse served, it's worth asking about this when you call.
*Since our home care is a non-medical service, we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid for non-medical home care services.
