Aurora In-Home Care Costs and VA Benefits
No Aurora-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Illinois median of $6,864 a month for 44 hours a week, about $36 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most Aurora families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. If income looks too high on paper, read what to do when income seems too high before ruling the benefit out.
