Care Pricing

Most care is simply $37 an hour.

Families should be able to understand the price of care without studying a complicated fee schedule. Most scheduled Colorado Homestead Care visits use one clear hourly rate, with a smaller option for people who only need brief, essential help.

Regular In-Home Support One clear base rate $37/hour

For scheduled visits of two hours or more. Ordinary personal care, homemaker support, evenings, weekends, and designated holidays do not create extra hourly charges.

The Welcome Home Hour

New private-pay families can schedule an introductory five-hour Regular Support block for $148, the cost of four hours. The Caring Companion is paid for every hour worked; the complimentary hour is provided by Colorado Homestead Care.

Four Clear Prices

Choose the support that matches the moment

Most families only need the first option. The other three exist for brief recurring help, unexpected same-day needs, and continuous awake overnight care.

Brief Recurring Help

Essential Assist Visit

$20 / 30 minutes

  • Meal setup, medication reminder, or brief mobility help
  • Safety, comfort, or settling-in check
  • One-hour visits are billed at the regular $37 rate
  • Planned service, not emergency or on-demand response

30-minute visit$40 total One-hour visit$57 total Two-hour visit$94 total

Availability depends on timing, location, the current care plan, and the on-call Caring Companion. For a medical emergency or immediate safety concern, call 911.

Continuous Nighttime Presence

Awake Overnight Support

$44 / hour
For a Caring Companion who remains awake and available

For families who need continuous overnight supervision and assistance rather than an ordinary scheduled visit.

  • Nighttime safety and supervision
  • Toileting and mobility assistance
  • Wandering-risk awareness
  • Hydration, comfort, and routine reminders
  • Overnight family caregiver relief
The simple version: Most care is $37 per hour. Brief scheduled help is $20. Same-day help adds $20 when available. Awake overnight care is $44 per hour.

What the Rate Supports

Care that respects families and Caring Companions

Our rate is designed to stay understandable for Southern Colorado families while supporting dependable wages, paid preparation, thoughtful matching, background screening, insurance, supervision, and consistent care.

We do not increase the price because an ordinary visit includes bathing, dressing, toileting, meal preparation, memory reminders, light housekeeping, or another agreed daily-living task.

No routine evening surcharge. No weekend surcharge. No designated holiday surcharge. No separate Homestead Helper charge during a regular visit. We would rather earn trust through quality care than through unnecessary fees.
Additional Support

More help without another complicated price menu

Many CHC services fit inside the regular $37 care rate. When a request requires substantial research, planning, materials, or an outside licensed provider, the family receives a clear quote before work begins.

Care Coordination

Family Advocate Services

Included with recurring care

Routine planning, Caring Companion matching, family updates, check-ins, and care-plan adjustments are included. Larger standalone projects are quoted in writing first.

Resource Navigation

Funding Navigation

Initial conversation and basic guidance included

CHC can help identify possible pathways and organize next steps. Extensive research or application assistance is quoted before work begins. Funding is not guaranteed.

Before, During, and After Loss

Gentle Transitions™

Companion presence uses the regular $37 rate

Supportive presence and practical continuity are billed as regular care. Substantial advance planning or family coordination is quoted clearly beforehand.

Light Practical Help at Home

Homestead Helper Services

Getting Started

A simple, low-pressure beginning

You do not need to know which option fits before reaching out. We will help you make sense of it.

1

Tell us what is changing

Share what feels difficult, what kind of help may be useful, and what the family is trying to protect.

2

Choose the simplest fit

Most families use regular care. Some need Essential Assist, same-day support, or awake overnight care.

3

Build a practical schedule

We create a plan around the family, location, visit length, route availability, and Caring Companion schedules.

Simple Terms

Clear expectations from the beginning

We explain the schedule, estimated cost, and any approved outside expense before care begins.

Regular visits

Regular In-Home Support is $37 per hour with a two-hour minimum. The rate does not change based on the ordinary care tasks included in the agreed plan.

Essential Assist

Recurring 30-minute visits are $20 and scheduled around available routes. One-hour visits are $37. Essential Assist is not an emergency or on-demand service.

Same-day support

Established clients may request non-emergency, same-day help for a $20 response fee plus the regular visit charge. Service is never guaranteed.

No routine surcharges

Evenings, weekends, designated holidays, personal care, and ordinary Homestead Helper tasks remain at the regular family rate.

Outside expenses

Client-requested mileage is billed at the current approved rate without markup. Approved materials are charged at actual cost, and licensed vendors bill separately.

Cancellations and billing

Twenty-four hours' notice is requested. Late cancellations may be billed for up to two hours so reserved staff can still be paid. Private-pay care is billed weekly.

Important scope note: Colorado Homestead Care provides non-medical in-home support. We do not provide skilled nursing, diagnosis, medication administration, wound care, injections, therapy, or other clinical services. We can coordinate everyday routines alongside a family's licensed medical providers.
