Utah In-Home Care by the Numbers
Utah In-Home Care Costs and How Far VA Benefits Go
The Utah median for a home health aide is $7,484 a month (CareScout 2025, based on 44 hours of care a week), 12% above the U.S. median of $6,673. At about $39 an hour, most Utah families start with a few shifts a week and add hours as needs grow, so the real bill is often lower than the full-time figure.
| Type of care | Utah per month | U.S. per month | Share up to $3,845 covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-home care (non-medical, 44 hrs/week) | $7,484 | $6,673 | 51% |
| Adult day care | $3,033 | $2,058 | 100% |
| Assisted living | $5,475 | $6,200 | 70% |
| Nursing home, semi-private room | $8,669 | $9,581 | 44% |
All Utah figures are CareScout 2025 medians. Agency rates vary with the hours, the shift length and whether care is overnight.

Licensing for Utah Home Care Agencies
Utah rules for non-medical home care agencies are mixed; some services need a license and others do not. Utah Department of Health and Human Services can confirm. Either way, ask for insurance, bonding and background checks.
Agencies that employ caregivers carry the payroll and injury coverage; hiring privately shifts that to your family.
Utah Programs That Help With In-Home Care
Aging Waiver and New Choices Waiver
Utah Medicaid can pay for personal care at home for people who meet its medical and financial rules; waiting lists are common.
Aid & Attendance
Paid to the veteran or surviving spouse, so it can cover agency caregivers or a person the family hires in Utah.
Housebound benefit
A veteran mostly confined to the Utah home may get the smaller Housebound allowance instead of Aid & Attendance.
