Quick answer

The 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey puts North Carolina's statewide median for homemaker/non-medical home care services at approximately $5,720 per month, based on an hourly rate applied to a standard number of care hours. As with other CareScout figures, this is a statewide median only -- there is no published Raleigh-metro-specific home care cost figure, so actual hourly rates from Triangle-area home care agencies should be confirmed directly.

The detail behind the number

Home care pricing is inherently variable because families purchase it by the hour rather than as a flat monthly fee, and the $5,720/month CareScout figure is a calculated statewide median built from an assumed number of weekly care hours -- it does not represent what every family will actually pay. Actual monthly cost depends heavily on how many hours of care are needed per week, whether care is needed overnight or 24/7, and whether the family hires through a licensed home care agency (which carries higher hourly rates but includes insurance, supervision, and backup staffing) versus a private, independently-hired caregiver. In the Triangle, agencies serving Wake, Durham, and Orange counties generally price higher than agencies serving more rural counties like Harnett or Franklin, though no state or metro-specific breakdown of this difference has been published. Families should request a written hourly rate and minimum-hours policy from any home care agency before committing.
