How much does home care cost in Nashville, Tennessee?

The average hourly cost of home care in Nashville is $30, based on A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] This is close to the national average of $32 per hour. Nashville’s overall cost of living is slightly lower than the U.S. average, which can influence care expenses.[02]

Families can design flexible care schedules. Many opt for part-time care — about 20 hours a week — which costs around $2,598 monthly. For seniors who need more help, a full-time plan of 44 hours weekly averages $5,716 per month.

If your loved one requires around-the-clock care, it may be worthwhile comparing home care rates with assisted living, memory care, or nursing home options, as these may be more cost-effective.

How to pay for home care in Nashville

Families in Nashville typically use a mix of personal savings, long-term care insurance, and public benefits to cover home care expenses.

Private pay options

Common private sources include:

  • Savings and retirement income. Social Security, pensions, or retirement accounts are often used.
  • Long-term care insurance. Depending on the policy, some or all expenses may be covered.
  • Life insurance. Policies may be sold or converted to help cover care.
  • Home equity. A reverse mortgage or HELOC can provide added financial support.

Medicare

Medicare may cover short-term, medically necessary home health care as long as it’s provided by a Medicare-certified agency and prescribed by a doctor. Covered services may include:[03]

  • Skilled nursing
  • Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
  • Medical equipment and supplies

Medicare won’t typically pay for ongoing nonmedical personal care unless it’s part of a broader care plan that includes skilled nursing services.

Medicare resources in Nashville

In Nashville, the Greater Nashville Regional Council partners with the Tennessee State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) to host monthly educational sessions about Medicare benefits.

Medicaid

Tennessee’s Medicaid program, TennCare, offers home and community-based services for eligible seniors through its CHOICES program.[04] Covered services may include:

  • Personal care and daily living support
  • Homemaker services
  • Adult day services
  • Skilled nursing
  • Caregiver respite

Eligibility for the CHOICES program is based on need and income.

Medicaid resources in Nashville, TN

For help with Medicaid benefits, elderly residents of Nashville can contact the following organizations. To apply, visit the TennCare website.

VA benefits

Veterans and surviving spouses in Nashville may qualify for VA programs that help with home care expenses:

  • Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefit: 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. 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 Nashville.[05]
  • 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 Tennessee for next steps.[06]
  • 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.[07]

Home care laws and regulations in Tennessee

The Tennessee Health Facilities Commission regulates home health care agencies in the state to ensure safety and quality.

Licensing and accreditation

Home care organizations must be licensed and meet requirements for patient care, staffing, and administration.[08] Companies in Tennessee that provide nonmedical home care, such as companion care and homemaker services, aren’t required to be licensed.[09] Agencies offering skilled nursing may also seek accreditation from Joint Commission or CHAP for Medicare or Medicaid eligibility.

Hiring practices

Licensed agencies in Tennessee are required to:[10]

  • Conduct criminal and other background checks on caregivers
  • Ensure training and continuing education for staff
  • Maintain proper records and provide ongoing supervision

These standards help protect seniors receiving care at home.
