How Much Does Home Care Cost in Rhode Island?
Home care costs in Rhode Island are not one-size-fits-all — the price depends on the type of care needed, how many hours per week, and whether the client qualifies for Medicaid LTSS. The good news? Families only pay for the specific support their loved one needs, with flexible options to match any budget.

Payment Source
Medicaid LTSS, private pay, and long-term care insurance each work differently
Why Home Care Costs Vary
Your care needs are unique — so is your pricing
Home care in Rhode Island is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is the cost. Every client has a unique combination of needs — some require a few hours of companionship per week, while others need daily personal care or specialized memory care support. The right care plan depends on your loved one's condition, daily routine, and goals.
Rather than publish rates that may not apply to your situation, we believe the most honest thing we can do is sit down with your family, understand your needs, and give you a clear, personalized estimate at no cost.
