How much does home care cost in Little Rock, Arkansas?

Home care in Little Rock averages $27 per hour, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] The cost of living in Little Rock is 6% lower than the national average, and housing costs are 22% lower.[02] This relative affordability may help offset the cost of home care.

This pay-per-hour approach allows families to control costs by selecting only the hours of care they need — whether that’s a few mornings a week or 24/7 support. However, if your loved one needs more comprehensive help, other senior care types such as assisted living, memory care, or a nursing home may be more cost-effective.
