What moves the price of in-home care

Scope is the biggest lever on in-home care pricing. Ask what is included and what is not, then compare the same job across providers. A wider scope at a lower rate can still cost more than a narrow scope at a higher one.

Getting quotes for in-home care

When you request in-home care quotes, give every provider the same brief. Identical scope is what makes the numbers comparable, and it stops the cheapest quote from also being the vaguest.
