In-Home Care in Santa Rosa by the Numbers
Santa Rosa In-Home Care Providers We Work With
Each provider below serves Santa Rosa families and partners with Patriot Angels on the Aid & Attendance claim.
Santa Rosa In-Home Care Costs and VA Benefits
No Santa Rosa-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the California median of $7,627 a month for 44 hours a week, about $40 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most Santa Rosa families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to VA’s income and asset rules shows how in-home care costs lower countable income.
