Costs of Senior Home Care
When considering home care for yourself or a loved one, cost is an important factor. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to how much care will cost. The total cost could depend on the level of care and the frequency of home care visits. Families will want to consider:
- How many hours of service will you need each day or week?
- What type of care does your loved one need?
- Is your loved one eligible for third-party assistance (long-term care insurance, veteran’s benefits)?
At Visiting Angels Wayzata, we believe in transparency and personalized care to give families all the information they need to make the best decision. Below, we break down the average cost of home care services in the Minneapolis, MN metro area, payment options, and an overview of our billing practices to help you feel confident in your decision.

Understanding the Cost of Home Care Services
A recent survey shows the average hourly cost of in-home care in the Twin Cities area is anywhere $40-$50 per hour, with the actual cost of care determined based on each senior’s specific needs and location.
At Visiting Angels Wayzata, we provide transparent pricing without hidden fees and work closely with each family to ensure your loved one receives the care they need and also fits your financial situation. Our goal is to help seniors get the in-home support they need without unnecessary expenses. Contact us for a breakdown of our services and costs.
Flexible Payment Options & Third-Party Payers
We understand that the financial aspects of finding home care can be a lot to take in. Our agency is about to offer private pay, and our team can actively assist families in accessing third-party funding options like long-term care insurance and veterans benefits.
Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI)
Many families use long-term care insurance to cover home care costs. LTCI policies are designed to help individuals pay for care that includes assisted living communities, in-home care services, and memory care. Our team has experience working with a number of long-term care insurance providers and can help you understand the waiting periods, requirements, and submitting claims for your policy so you can be sure you are maximizing your benefits. Learn more about long-term care insurance and how we can help, here.
Military Veterans Benefits
We are proud to assist our military veterans. For those who have served our country, seniors may qualify for programs like the Aid and Attendance benefit or the Community Care Network, both of these programs can help offset home care costs. These programs provide financial assistance for personal care services, support with activities of daily living (ADLs), and respite care. Our team can guide seniors and families through the application and approval process to make sure they receive the benefits they deserve.

FAQ
- How do I know if home care is the right choice for my loved one?
Home care is ideal for seniors who need assistance with daily tasks but wish to remain in their current residence, whether that is a private home, 55+ community, or assisted living apartment. If your loved one requires consistent help with personal care, meal preparation, transportation, or companionship, home care could be a great option. Read more about the benefits of home care here. - Does Medicare or health insurance cover the cost of home care services?
Medicare does not cover non-medical home care services such as assistance with daily living activities, companionship, or personal care. However, Medicare may cover short-term home health care services prescribed by a doctor, like skilled nursing or physical therapy, under specific conditions and for a specific amount of time. Traditional health insurance plans generally do not cover in-home senior care, but some policies may offer limited benefits for certain medical-related services. - Where can I find additional resources on home care and aging?For more information on senior care, finance options, and family caregiver support, check out these resources:
