Estimate private-pay caregiving cost

Uses the client’s normal recurring weekly schedule to select the correct hourly tier.

Hourly tier$37.95/hr
Weekly estimate$759.00
Average monthly$3,289.00
Refundable deposit$759.00

Internal estimate for new clients beginning services August 1 through December 31, 2026. Recurring schedule changes can change the rate tier. Temporary schedule changes do not. Private nursing is priced separately after an assessment. Verify the service agreement and any insurance approval before quoting a final amount.

Ask these questions

  • Who needs care, where do they live and who is making the decision?
  • Which ADLs, IADLs, cognitive or safety needs require help?
  • What days, times and weekly hours are requested?
  • What is the requested start date, and is a discharge driving urgency?
  • Is long-term care insurance available, even if the family will pay first?

Suggested language

Based on what you shared, the next useful step is a care assessment. That lets us understand the schedule, safety needs and the kind of caregiver who will be the best match. We will explain pricing clearly before you make a decision.
Handoff

Assessment representative once location, schedule, payer responsibility and decision-maker are confirmed.

Do not overpromise

Never imply that a pending Medicaid, VA or insurance application will reimburse private-pay care. Use the private-pay agreement until funding is formally approved.

Intake standard Know the pathway. Never overpromise the outcome. Own the next step. Stay with the lead until the funding pathway produces a TCC authorization or the person chooses another solution.
