What Affects the Cost of Home Care Services?
Home care costs depend on several key factors:
- Type of caregiver required (PSW, RPN, RN, or specialist support)
- Complexity of care (basic assistance vs. medical or high-acuity care)
- Number of care hours per week or per month
- Frequency and duration of visits
- Specialized needs such as dementia, palliative, or post-surgical care
In general, Personal Support Worker (PSW) services for companionship and daily living support are more affordable, while nursing services (RPN/RN) and specialized care cost more due to clinical expertise.
The pricing below provides a realistic starting point before we design a personalized care plan for your family.
