Nationwide in 2025, the average cost for non-medical home care is approximately $30 – $33 per hour, with state averages generally ranging from about $23 to $40+ per hour, depending on location and local labor costs. It should be noted that these figures reflect average rates charged by licensed home care agencies. Private individuals can often be retained to provide many of the same services at rates that are 20% – 30% lower than agency costs. However, these independent caregivers are typically uninsured, may not undergo formal background checks, and often cannot provide backup or replacement caregivers if they are unavailable to work on short notice.
