What In-Home Care Costs in St. Augustine
No St. Augustine-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Florida median of $6,101 a month for 44 hours a week, about $32 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most St. Augustine families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. Recurring in-home care bills count as medical expenses; what counts as a medical expense for VA explains the math.
