What affects the cost of home care
Every family's plan is different, so the cost of care is too. These are the main things that shape a quote:
- Hours per week. A few short visits a week costs less overall than daily or full-day coverage.
- Schedule and overnights. Daytime visits, evening help and overnight companion coverage are scheduled and quoted differently.
- Live-in vs. hourly. Live-in companion support is arranged differently from hourly visits, so it is quoted on its own terms.
- Weekends and holidays. Coverage on weekends and holidays can affect the quote.
- Level of help needed. Within our non-medical companion and homemaker scope, the mix of company, meals, errands, light housekeeping and respite shapes the plan.
- Short-term or ongoing. A respite block for a trip is planned differently from ongoing weekly support.
