What In-Home Care Costs in Tampa
No Tampa-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). Tampa agencies usually set a minimum shift, often three or four hours, so ask before you plan a short visit. Before applying, review VA’s income and net worth limits so the in-home care bill is counted the right way.
