Paying for In-Home Care in Salisbury
No Salisbury-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Maryland median of $6,673 a month for 44 hours a week, about $35 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most Salisbury families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to VA’s income and asset rules shows how in-home care costs lower countable income.
