Understanding Home Care Costs & Payment Options
Every family's care needs are different. Instead of hiding behind a one-size-fits-all number, we help families understand what can affect the cost of non-medical home care.
WHAT AFFECTS COST?
Care is built around the support you need.
Companionship, personal care and other services may involve different care requirements.
Timing, frequency and requested coverage can affect staffing and availability.
Care plans may need to evolve as a loved one's circumstances change.
PAYMENT QUESTIONS
Let's talk through the options that apply to your family.
Payment arrangements can vary. During your consultation, ask us about current private-pay arrangements, long-term care insurance documentation, and whether VA-authorized care may apply to an eligible veteran.
Insurance coverage and government-benefit eligibility are determined by the applicable insurer or government program. Two Girls Home Care does not determine benefit eligibility.
NO SURPRISES
Ask about anticipated costs before care begins.
We encourage families to understand the requested schedule, services and anticipated charges before starting care.

Home Care Cost FAQs
Why isn't there one flat price for home care?
Home care needs can vary by schedule, requested services, frequency and other care-plan factors. A consultation allows the agency to understand what the family is requesting before discussing anticipated costs.
Does Medicare automatically pay for non-medical home care?
Medicare coverage is governed by federal program rules and should not be assumed to cover ongoing non-medical custodial care. Families should confirm coverage directly with Medicare or their plan.
Can veterans receive help paying for home care?
Some eligible veterans may have access to VA-authorized home and community-based services. Eligibility and authorization are determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
