Table 2: Cost of Home Care Services by Province
What are the average costs of private home care in
your province?
It's easy to see how the costs of care can add up quickly. Based on the examples
above, if you or a loved one needed:
• placement in a private care facility at $5000 per month, or
• home care five days a week for four hours a day at $35 per hour,
then this would add up to at least $35,000 to $65,000 a year, depending on the
type of care required.
