How LocalBes works
One clear request. A simpler way to compare home care.
Instead of calling agency after agency, explain the care needs once and let suitable providers serving your ZIP code decide whether they can help.
Describe the situation
Share the ZIP code, schedule, mobility needs, conditions, preferred start date and other important details.
Providers review the request
Suitable home care agencies can assess the request and decide whether their services and staffing fit your needs.
Compare responses
Review quotations, availability, experience and approach before deciding which provider to contact or hire.
Not sure which home care service to choose?
Start with the closest option and explain the full situation. Suitable providers can clarify which type of support may fit.
Why families use LocalBes
More clarity before choosing a home care provider.
LocalBes helps organize the search, but the family remains in control of the final decision.
Compare quotations
Review estimated costs, minimum hours, included services, schedules and important conditions.
Reduce repeated calls
Share the main information once instead of repeating the same care story to many agencies.
Local coverage
Your ZIP code helps organize the request around providers that serve the relevant location.
Compare availability
Understand who may support the preferred start date, weekly hours, overnight care or live-in schedule.
Ask informed questions
Confirm licenses, insurance, caregiver screening, supervision, qualifications and emergency procedures.
Private request process
Provide useful matching information without publicly posting sensitive family details.
Important: LocalBes is a marketplace and does not provide home care directly. Providers are independent businesses. Always verify licensing, insurance, qualifications, caregiver screening, contracts and service terms before hiring.
Home care cost guide
How much could home care cost?
Prices vary by ZIP code, provider, care level, schedule and minimum shift requirements. The examples below use recent U.S. national cost benchmarks to help families prepare a realistic starting budget—not to set or guarantee any provider’s quotation.
Non-medical home care
$35 median per hour
Useful for companion care, personal care and other non-medical caregiver support. The final agency rate may be lower or higher.
- Companionship and safety supervision
- Bathing, dressing and mobility assistance
- Meal preparation, reminders and errands
Skilled nursing at home
$90 median per hour
Skilled nursing is generally more expensive because it involves licensed clinical professionals and medically necessary tasks.
- Wound care and clinical monitoring
- Medication or treatment support
- Care ordered under a clinical plan
Live-in or 24-hour support
Custom agency quotation
Overnight, live-in and continuous care pricing may use shifts, daily rates or multiple caregivers instead of one simple hourly calculation.
- Ask whether sleeping hours are billed differently
- Confirm caregiver rotation and overtime
- Request a written weekly or monthly estimate
12 hours weekly
About $420/week
Example: 4 hours, 3 days per week at $35/hour.
20 hours weekly
About $700/week
Approximately $3,033 in an average month.
40 hours weekly
About $1,400/week
Approximately $6,067 in an average month.
44 hours weekly
About $6,673/month
Matches the national benchmark’s commonly reported full-care schedule.

Planning tool only. It is not a LocalBes quotation, insurance determination or guarantee. Providers set their own prices.
LocationLabor costs, caregiver supply and travel distance vary significantly by ZIP code and state.
Hours and minimum shiftsSome agencies require two-, three- or four-hour minimum visits or price overnight shifts differently.
Complexity of careDementia supervision, transfers, behavioral support and specialized skills may affect the rate.
Nights, weekends and holidaysNonstandard schedules may involve premiums, overtime or limited caregiver availability.
Caregiver qualificationsA companion, personal care aide, CNA, nurse and therapist have different training and pricing.
Agency inclusionsAsk whether supervision, care planning, replacements, transportation and assessments are included.
Insurance and Medicare: Medicare may cover qualifying, medically necessary, intermittent skilled home health services ordered under an approved plan of care. It generally does not pay for 24-hour home care or personal/custodial care when that is the only help needed. Medicaid, Veterans benefits, long-term-care insurance and some Medicare Advantage plans may provide assistance depending on eligibility and plan rules. Ask the provider and insurer for written coverage information.
Get pricing that reflects your ZIP code and care needs.
National averages are useful for planning, but actual provider quotations are more meaningful. Describe the schedule and care needs so suitable agencies can assess the request.

Frequently asked questions
Understand the home care matching process.
Clear answers for families before submitting a request.
Is submitting a home care request free?
Families can submit a request without paying LocalBes. Any care charges, assessments, deposits or service fees are agreed directly with the provider chosen by the family.
Does LocalBes employ the caregivers?
No. LocalBes is a marketplace. Home care agencies and professionals shown through the platform are independent providers.
Can I compare more than one quotation?
Yes, when multiple suitable providers respond. The number and speed of responses depend on location, care type, urgency and provider availability.
How quickly will providers respond?
There is no guaranteed response time. Detailed requests in active service areas may receive faster interest, while specialized or lower-coverage needs may take longer.
Are providers verified?
Provider applications are reviewed before activation. Families should still independently confirm licenses, insurance, background-check practices, qualifications and service terms.
What details should I include?
Include the ZIP code, who needs care, preferred schedule, mobility needs, memory concerns, medical conditions, start date, language preferences, budget range and any safety considerations.
Why can my quotation differ from the national hourly median?
Provider rates can differ because of ZIP code, caregiver availability, minimum shifts, care complexity, nights, weekends, holidays, transportation, assessments and the qualifications required.
Does Medicare pay for companion or personal care?
Medicare generally does not cover personal or custodial care when that is the only service needed. It may cover limited home health aide assistance when the person also qualifies for covered skilled nursing or therapy under a Medicare home health plan.
Should I choose the cheapest provider?
Price matters, but families should also compare licensing, insurance, caregiver screening, supervision, reliability, experience, communication, service terms and how well the provider fits the person receiving care.
