Costs and Paying for Care

What in-home care costs in Southern California, and the benefits and programs that help cover it.

Cost is usually the second question families ask, right after whether their parent can stay at home. These guides set out what in-home care actually costs across Los Angeles and Orange County, and the ways families pay for it: long-term care insurance, VA benefits, IHSS and private funds.

We publish market ranges rather than a single rate, because the real number depends on how many hours you need, the level of care and how often visits happen. For a figure that fits your own situation, a free in-home assessment is the fastest route.
