What changes the price
Four things that drive the cost
Hours and schedule
Total weekly hours matter most. Short visits, overnights, weekends and holidays can be priced differently, so ask for the rate for your exact schedule.
Level of help
Companionship and errands are usually simpler to staff than hands-on personal care, dementia care or two-person transfers.
Consistency
A steady schedule with the same caregiver is easier to plan and usually works better for the person receiving care.
Location
Travel distance and caregiver availability vary across metro Atlanta.
Questions families ask
Home care cost: common questions
What is the average cost of in-home care in Georgia?+
CareScout’s 2025 Cost of Care Survey put the Georgia median for a non-medical in-home caregiver at $73,216 a year, based on 44 hours a week. That works out to about $32 an hour, or about $6,100 a month at that schedule.
Is the median what CareBridge charges?+
No. The survey median is a statewide reference point. CareBridge gives every family a written quote for their own schedule and care needs at the free consultation.
Does Medicare pay for in-home care?+
Medicare generally does not pay for ongoing non-medical home care such as companionship or help with bathing when that is the only care needed. CareBridge is private pay and does not bill Medicare or Medicaid.
How do families pay for care?+
CareBridge is a private pay home care agency. Families pay directly, and we also work with long-term care insurance and veterans benefits where they apply. We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid, including the NOW and COMP waivers.
