What home care costs in Ohio
Elaine prices each visit before you confirm it, and nothing is charged until the visit ends. Across Ohio, non-medical personal care generally runs about $24 to $32 per hour, depending on the area.
Typical ranges across Ohio
| Service | Typical Ohio range (per hour) |
|---|---|
| Personal care | $24 – $32 |
| Companionship | $19 – $27 |
| Homemaking | $22 – $30 |
Your local band is narrower than the statewide range. Lima & Allen County, for example, publishes $24 to $26 for personal care. See each area's page for its own rate.
What moves the price
- Type of care — personal care costs more than companionship or homemaking
- Time of day — evenings, overnights and weekends cost more than weekday daytime
- Lead time — visits requested a couple of days ahead cost less than same-day
- Where you are — rates vary by area across Ohio
Published area bands drop any price point that covers less than 10% of the area's ZIP codes, so the range reflects what most families in that area actually pay.
No contract, private pay
Elaine is private pay and is not a Medicare or Medicaid provider. There is no contract and no weekly minimum. Some long-term care insurance policies reimburse non-medical home care; the app provides itemized receipts you can submit.
