Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to have a caregiver come to your home?

As of 2025, in-home care in Richmond, VA, typically costs around $20 to $25 per hour. This means weekly expenses for part-time care (about 20 hours) can be around $400 to $500, and full-time care (40 hours) can cost between $800 to $1,000 per week. Monthly costs usually range from $2,500 to $4,000, depending on the number of hours and level of care required. Factors like specialized medical needs, overnight assistance, and weekend hours may increase the overall cost. Rates can also vary slightly based on the caregiver’s experience and the specific services being provided. 

How much does in-home care cost in Richmond, VA?

Depending on the level of assistance required, inhome care in Richmond, Virginia, usually ranges from $18 to $25 per hour. Simple nonmedical help typically falls on the lower end and includes services like companionship, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. If the care involves personal help such as bathing, dressing, or mobility aid, rates could increase—maybe to $30 each hour. Depending on the provider, full-time care (40 hours per week) might cost between $3,200 to $4,000 each month, whereas part-time (20 hours a week) could average roughly $1,600 each month. Prices can vary based on your loved one’s requirements and the caregivers level of experience.

What’s the difference between home care and a caregiver?

While a caregiver is the individual providing care, home care is the services offered to people in their homes. Home care covers a range of nonmedical services, including light housekeeping, meal preparation, help with dressing and bathing, and companionship. An agency can provide it or a private caregiver can offer it. The trained person, whether a professional or a family member, is a caregiver who carries out these duties. Simply put, home care is the assistance someone receives, and the caregiver is the one who offers that help. 

What are 4 types of caregivers?

Family caregiver – A relative—a parent, child, or spouse—who lovingly looks after another person free of compensation 

Professional caregiver – A trained person appointed to offer personal care, housekeeping, or companionship in the home 

Independent caregiver – Someone who works privately (not via an agency) and is compensated by the household 

Volunteer caregiver – Someone who usually works through community or religious groups to provide unpaid care

What’s the difference between home care and personal care?

The kind of help provided distinguishes personal care from home care. Home care emphasizes activities of daily living, including housekeeping, food preparation, companionship, medication reminders, and assistance with errands. It promotes general comfort and wellbeing for people in their homes. Conversely, personal care is hands-on support with personal activities such as bathing, grooming, toileting, dressing, and mobility. Because of the physical nature of the assistance given, personal care is more intimate and usually calls for qualified caregivers. Home care helps the home environment, while personal care helps the individuals physical daily needs directly. 

What does senior care include?

Senior care covers a broad spectrum of services meant to enhance the general wellbeing, health, and safety of elderly people. It may include nonmedical support, personal care, and daily living help. In addition to emotional support for mental health, senior care provides companionship to reduce loneliness. Depending on the person, care can be provided at home or in an  assisted living facility or nursing home. Usually designed to help seniors maintain independence and quality of life, services can range from full-time to part-time. 

What’s the most common home care service?

Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) is the most often provided home care service. Included among these are daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating, and safe mobility throughout the house. This kind of care helps people who, because of age, disease, or handicap, find it challenging to carry out these tasks alone. Besides ADLs, home care typically covers light cleaning, meal planning, and medication reminders. Though not medical, these services are absolutely necessary for preserving comfort, dignity, and autonomy. Helping people stay securely in their homes while getting the support they need is the aim.

How do I choose a home care provider in Richmond?

Start by determining the particular needs of the person who needs care—personal care, companionship, and/or mobility assistance—then select a home care provider in Richmond. Search for trained caregiver providers who are licensed and insured. Review their experience, references, and comments from customers. Interview several choices to determine compatibility and quality. Inquire about background checks, emergency plans, and care plan flexibility. Know the payment methods and cost structure well. You can assess the quality of care with the aid of a trial period. Select a provider who shares your familys values and needs and is kind and dependable.

Are there 24-hour home care services in Richmond?

Home care agencies in Richmond, Virginia, do offer constant support for those who require ongoing assistance. This is known as 24-hour home care services. These services ensure someone is always available to assist with everyday activities, personal care, medication reminders, and companionship by means of rotating shifts of caregivers offering around-the-clock care. Seniors with illnesses like dementia, those recuperating from surgery, or those at risk of falls requiring monitoring day and night particularly benefit from 24-hour care. Choosing 24-hour home care allows families peace of mind as their loved ones are safe and well looked after in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.
