In-Home Care in Indiana at a Glance
Paying the Monthly In-Home Care Bill in Indiana
The Indiana median for a home health aide is $6,673 a month (CareScout 2025, based on 44 hours of care a week), 0% above the U.S. median of $6,673. At about $35 an hour, most Indiana 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 | Indiana per month | U.S. per month | Share up to $3,845 covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-home care (non-medical, 44 hrs/week) | $6,673 | $6,673 | 58% |
| Adult day care | $2,752 | $2,058 | 100% |
| Assisted living | $5,639 | $6,200 | 68% |
| Nursing home, semi-private room | $8,942 | $9,581 | 43% |
All Indiana figures are CareScout 2025 medians. Agency rates vary with the hours, the shift length and whether care is overnight.

Licensing for Indiana Home Care Agencies
Indiana requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Personal Services Agency (PSA) license, issued by Indiana Department of Health. Ask any agency for its license number and look it up before the first visit.
An agency that employs its caregivers handles payroll taxes and workers’ comp. A private hire leaves those duties with the family.
