What In-Home Care Costs in Boise
No Boise-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Idaho median of $7,341 a month for 44 hours a week, about $38 an hour (CareScout 2025). Boise agencies usually set a minimum shift, often three or four hours, so ask before you plan a short visit. If income looks too high on paper, read what to do when income seems too high before ruling the benefit out.
