Care you hire on your own costs more. A private nurse at home runs a median of $90 an hour (CareScout Cost of Care Survey, 2025). See our guide to home health care costs and who pays for the full picture.

Yes. Medicare Part A and Part B pay for home health care when a doctor orders it, you need skilled nursing or therapy, and you are homebound. Homebound means it is hard for you to leave home. You pay $0 for the care itself. You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved cost for medical gear. Medicare Advantage plans cover home health too, with their own rules. A Medigap plan can pay the 20% gear cost toward the Original Medicare benefit.
