Oregon In-Home Care by the Numbers
What In-Home Care Costs in Oregon
The Oregon median for a home health aide is $7,627 a month (CareScout 2025, based on 44 hours of care a week), 14% above the U.S. median of $6,673. At about $40 an hour, most Oregon 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 | Oregon per month | U.S. per month | Share up to $3,845 covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-home care (non-medical, 44 hrs/week) | $7,627 | $6,673 | 50% |
| Adult day care | $4,333 | $2,058 | 89% |
| Assisted living | $6,874 | $6,200 | 56% |
| Nursing home, semi-private room | $16,760 | $9,581 | 23% |
All Oregon figures are CareScout 2025 medians. Agency rates vary with the hours, the shift length and whether care is overnight.

Featured Oregon Partners
Licensing for Oregon Home Care Agencies
Oregon requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the In-Home Care Agency license, issued by Oregon Health Authority, Health Care Regulation and Quality Improvement. 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.
