Cost of home care by area
What families pay home care agencies for non-medical in-home help - the median provider-reported hourly rate from the CareScout Cost of Care Survey. CareScout publishes this median at the state level, so each Bay Area jurisdiction is shown against the verified California statewide figure. Monthly cost assumes 44 hours per week (CareScout survey standard). For caregiver wage floors, see minimum wage by city or caregiver pay by city.

Median agency billing rates from the CareScout Cost of Care Survey - what home care agencies charge families for non-medical caregiver services. These are not caregiver payroll rates (see caregiver pay by city for wage floors and BLS benchmarks). Actual quotes vary by acuity, hours, and provider; skilled nursing at home is priced separately.
