Louisville In-Home Care Costs and VA Benefits
No Louisville-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Kentucky median of $6,197 a month for 44 hours a week, about $32 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most Louisville families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. If the family home is a concern, read how the family home affects the net worth limit.
