If you’re considering in-home care for a loved one in Arizona, you’re likely wondering what it costs, how it compares to other senior care options, and what factors influence these expenses. With Arizona’s aging population and a range of care needs, understanding the numbers is essential for effective planning.

Here’s a detailed, up-to-date guide to in-home care costs in Arizona for 2025—drawing on the latest CareScout Cost of Care data and regional insights.

Based on CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2024

In-home care is generally less expensive than nursing home care and comparable to assisted living, especially when care needs are part-time or moderate.

What Services Are Included in In-Home Care?

• Homemaker Services: Meal preparation, light cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, companionship, and help with errands.

• Home Health Aide Services: All of the above, plus personal care such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, and mobility assistance.

Care can be tailored to your loved one’s needs, whether you need a few hours a week or a full-time schedule.

What Drives In-Home Care Costs in Arizona?

• Labor Costs: As the largest driver, competitive wages are necessary to attract and retain qualified caregivers in a tight labor market.

• Inflation: Rising costs for goods, transportation, and utilities also contribute to higher overall care expenses.

Other influences include the number of hours needed, the complexity of care, and any specialized support such as dementia care. (For more on the latter, check out our blog on the cost of dementia care at home).

How to Pay for In-Home Care in Arizona

Most families pay for in-home care out of pocket, but several resources can help:

• Long-Term Care Insurance: Many policies cover some or all in-home care costs.

• Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS): Arizona’s Medicaid program may help eligible seniors pay for in-home care.

• Veterans Benefits: Programs such as Aid & Attendance can help offset care costs for qualifying veterans and spouses.

• Other Financial Strategies: Home equity loans, reverse mortgages, and local grants may also be options.
