This is a private-pay estimate before insurance. Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits and long-term care insurance often reduce it, sometimes to zero. See ways to pay.

The calculator multiplies the hours you choose by our published hourly range for that level of care, then projects it across a typical month of about 4.3 weeks. For live-in care, it uses an illustrative flat daily range instead, because continuous care is never billed by the hour. Every number it uses is the same rate we publish on our cost of home care guide.
Why it might cost less than it shows
The figure above is the private-pay cost before any benefits. Most families qualify for at least one program that lowers it:
- Medicare pays 100 percent for physician-ordered skilled nursing and therapy when your loved one is homebound.
- Nevada Medicaid and its waivers can fund weekly personal care hours for eligible members.
- VA benefits can add over 2,300 dollars a month for many veterans and surviving spouses.
- Long-term care insurance reimburses most of our services, and we bill many carriers directly.

How accurate is the home care cost calculator?
It uses our real, published 2026 Las Vegas Valley rates, so the range it shows is a genuine planning estimate, not a lowball teaser. Your exact price still comes in a free written quote after a nurse assessment, because the level of hands-on help needed can nudge the rate within the range. But the calculator will not surprise you.
Do I have to enter my email or phone number to use it?
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser and asks for nothing. Use it as many times as you like. When you are ready for an exact number, you can request a free written quote, but there is no obligation and no email wall.
What rates does the calculator use?
Companion care at 32 to 36 dollars an hour, personal care at 35 to 40 dollars, and specialized dementia care at 38 to 42 dollars. Live-in care uses an illustrative flat daily range; your exact live-in rate is quoted in writing. These are the same rates we publish across the site.
Does the estimate include what insurance might cover?
No, the calculator shows the private-pay cost before benefits. Medicare, Nevada Medicaid, VA benefits and long-term care insurance can lower or eliminate that out-of-pocket cost. We verify your benefits for free, which is often the single biggest change to the final number.
