What is the cost of in-home dementia care?

The cost of in-home dementia care typically starts at about $34 per hour, with monthly costs ranging from roughly $2,145 to more than $24,000 depending on how many hours of care are needed. Families often pay more as dementia progresses and supervision increases. In addition to caregiver wages, costs may include home safety modifications, medical supplies, and lost income. Comparing in-home dementia care with memory care and other senior care options can help families understand when care at home is affordable and when another option may make more financial sense.
