This provider sends caregivers to homes in and around Bend, and works with Patriot Angels so veteran families can use VA benefits for the hours.
Bend In-Home Care Costs and VA Benefits
No Bend-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Oregon median of $7,627 a month for 44 hours a week, about $40 an hour (CareScout 2025). Bend agencies usually set a minimum shift, often three or four hours, so ask before you plan a short visit. If the family home is a concern, read how VA treats a home under the net worth limit.
