How much does home care cost in Fayetteville, North Carolina?

The average cost of home care in Fayetteville is $26 per hour, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] Fayetteville’s average hourly rate is slightly lower than the national average rate of $31. This difference is reflective of the city’s cost of living, which is about 7% lower than the national average.[02]

Home care’s hourly pricing model provides flexibility needed to scale up or down, depending on a senior’s needs. Families often hire part-time home care for around 20 hours per week. Based on the average hourly rate in Fayetteville, part-time home care costs $2,252 per month. A full-time home care schedule of about 44 hours per week may be a better fit for seniors who need more assistance, companionship, and supervision. Full-time home care in Fayetteville costs about $4,954 per month.

For seniors who need more than part-time care, families may want to consider assisted living, memory care, or a nursing home. These senior living options may be more cost-effective than full-time or round-the-clock home care.
