What Will Home Health Care Actually Cost You?
Cost is one of the first questions families ask when they start thinking about home health care — and it’s a fair one. The honest answer is that it depends on the type of care, how many hours per week are needed, and what your insurance covers. But you don’t have to guess.
This estimator worksheet walks you through three straightforward steps. First, you identify your care situation: who needs care, their current living arrangement, and how soon you need support. Then you select the services that apply — personal care, skilled nursing visits, physical therapy, or overnight care — and circle the number of hours or visits per week. Finally, you use a simple formula to calculate your estimated monthly cost and write in your total.
We’ve included current South Florida market rate ranges for each service type, as well as a coverage reminder section that explains how Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and private pay each work. Many families are surprised to find that their out-of-pocket costs are significantly lower than they expected.

- You want a realistic sense of home care costs before making any decisions
