What these figures cover
Private-pay medians for non-medical help at home — bathing, dressing, meals, mobility and companionship. Skilled nursing and therapy are covered separately by Medicare home health when you are homebound and a doctor orders them. Agency rates may be higher than direct-hire rates but include insurance and replacement cover.
