Connecticut In-Home Care by the Numbers
What In-Home Care Costs in Connecticut
The Connecticut median for a home health aide is $6,864 a month (CareScout 2025, based on 44 hours of care a week), 3% above the U.S. median of $6,673. At about $36 an hour, most Connecticut 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 | Connecticut per month | U.S. per month | Share up to $3,845 covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-home care (non-medical, 44 hrs/week) | $6,864 | $6,673 | 56% |
| Adult day care | $2,362 | $2,058 | 100% |
| Assisted living | $9,118 | $6,200 | 42% |
| Nursing home, semi-private room | $15,208 | $9,581 | 25% |
All Connecticut figures are CareScout 2025 medians. Agency rates vary with the hours, the shift length and whether care is overnight.

Licensing for Connecticut Home Care Agencies
Connecticut requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Homemaker-Companion Agency registration, issued by Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. Ask any agency for its license number and look it up before the first visit.
Agencies that employ caregivers carry the payroll and injury coverage; hiring privately shifts that to your family.
