What are companion care rates?

Companion care rates refer to the hourly or flat fees charged for non-medical assistance provided to seniors or individuals who need help with daily activities. These services typically include companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and transportation. Rates can vary depending on factors such as location, the level of care required, and whether the care is provided through an agency or privately. On average, companion care rates in the U.S. range from $15 to $30 per hour. It's important to compare providers and understand what services are included in the rate.
