How much does home care cost in Los Angeles, California?

In Los Angeles, the average hourly rate for nonmedical home care is approximately $34, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] This cost reflects the city’s living expenses, which are about 49% higher than the national average, and housing costs, which are  more than 130% higher.[02]

While home care offers flexibility and personalized support, it may not be the most cost-effective option for seniors who need around-the-clock assistance. Assisted living or residential care homes may be more financially sustainable for those individuals.

How to pay for home care in Los Angeles

Most families in Los Angeles use funds from a combination of private resources and insurance to pay for home care.

Private pay options

Income from retirement accounts, pensions, and investments help families in Los Angeles pay for home care services. Other sources include:

  • Home equity. For homeowners, tapping into home equity can be a practical way to pay for care. Options include selling the home, downsizing to a smaller home, or taking out a reverse mortgage. Seniors can use reverse mortgages to convert a portion of their home’s value into cash without needing to sell or move.
  • Long-term care insurance. If a senior has a long-term care insurance policy, it may reimburse or directly pay for home care services. Coverage details vary, so it’s important to understand any waiting periods, daily benefit caps, and qualifying criteria before relying on this source.
  • Life insurance. Some life insurance policies can be converted into long-term care benefits or sold for their current value in what’s known as a life settlement. This approach can provide an immediate cash source for care needs.

Medicare

Medicare can assist with covering certain home health care services in Los Angeles, but it’s important to understand the limitations. Medicare Part A and/or Part B may cover eligible home health services if your loved one meets specific criteria. For example, a doctor must certify that they are homebound and require skilled care, and services must be provided by a Medicare-certified home health agency.

Medicare won’t cover:[03]

  • 24/7 care at home
  • Meals delivered to the home
  • Homemaker services (such as shopping, cleaning, and laundry) that aren’t related to a care plan
  • Personal care (such as help with bathing, dressing, and using the bathroom) when this is the only care needed

Medicare resources in Los Angeles

For assistance and more information about Medicare coverage in Los Angeles, consider the following resource:

  • Center for Health Care Rights
    The Center for Health Care Rights provides a help line, counselors, workshops, and information about Medicare.
    Phone: 800-434-0222

For general information and assistance with Medicare, visit Medicare.gov.

Medicaid

California Medicaid, also known as Medi-Cal, may help cover home care services in Los Angeles. California’s Medicaid program offers options to support home care, including:[04]

  • In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). This program helps pay for nonmedical assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and mobility support to those who are aged, blind, or disabled. To qualify, applicants must be Medi-Cal eligible and require support to safely remain at home.[04]
  • Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) and the Home and Community-Based Alternatives Waiver. These programs provide comprehensive care coordination for seniors who need a nursing home level of care but prefer to live at home.[05]

Medicaid resources in Los Angeles, CA

For assistance with Medi-Cal home care services in Los Angeles, consider the following resources:

  • California Department of Social Services – IHSS Program
    The IHSS Helpline Community offers a live chat to answer Californians’ questions about IHSS eligibility, the application process, and available services.
    Phone: 888-822-9622

VA benefits

Veterans in Los Angeles can use VA benefits to cover home care services. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers programs designed to help eligible veterans receive in-home assistance, enabling them to maintain independence and quality of life.

  • Aid and Attendance (A&A): The Aid and Attendance benefit provides additional monthly payments to eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses who receive a VA pension and require assistance with daily activities.[06] These funds can be used to pay for in-home care services. To apply, visit VA.gov to download Form 21-2680. The completed form can be uploaded online, mailed in, or submitted in person at the regional benefit office in Los Angeles.
  • Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care: This program offers trained professionals to assist veterans with personal care needs, allowing them to remain in their homes. Services include help with activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Eligibility is determined by a VA health care provider, and services are coordinated through the local VA medical center. To apply, contact a VA social worker in California for next steps.[07]
  • Veteran Directed Care (VDC): The VDC program allows eligible veterans to manage their own care services, including hiring personal care aides. This self-directed approach provides flexibility in choosing caregivers and tailoring services to individual needs. Enrollment is coordinated through the local VA medical center’s social work department.​ To access the program, reach out to your loved one’s VA social worker.[08]

Home care laws and regulations in California

California’s home care laws and regulations help ensure that home care agencies operate safely and ethically, providing peace of mind to clients and their families.

Licensing and accreditation

In California, home care agencies must be licensed by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) under the Home Care Services Consumer Protection Act.[09] This law mandates that all health care organizations meet specific standards to operate legally.

Home care aides employed by these organizations must be registered with the California Home Care Aide Registry. This registration process involves fingerprinting, background checks, and completion of training requirements.

Hiring practices

Licensed home care agencies in California are required to conduct comprehensive background checks on home care aides, verifying their registration with the CDSS, and ensuring they have completed the necessary training.

Agencies must also comply with California labor laws, which address fair wages, working hours, employee rights, and other issues.

How to choose the right home care agency in Los Angeles

Selecting a home care agency in Los Angeles involves careful consideration. Key factors include understanding pricing, caregiver qualifications, agency compliance history, and client feedback.

Request detailed pricing information

It’s important to request a comprehensive breakdown of fees, including any additional charges for specialized care or after-hours services. Ensure the agency provides transparent billing practices and clarifies what services are covered at each rate.

Ask about caregiver training and expertise

Verify that an agency’s caregivers meet state training requirements and inquire about additional training in areas such as dementia and mobility assistance. Understanding the caregivers’ qualifications ensures they are equipped to meet your loved one’s specific needs.

Look up inspection and complaint history

Reviewing an agency’s compliance history can provide insight into their service quality. Look up agency information, including inspection reports and substantiated complaints, using the Cal Health Find Database.

Read home care reviews

Client reviews offer valuable perspectives on an agency’s reliability and caregiver performance. Look for reviews that mention experiences with staff, responsiveness, and overall satisfaction. Reading multiple reviews can help identify consistent strengths or concerns across different agencies.
