Austin In-Home Care Costs and VA Benefits
No Austin-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Texas median of $5,720 a month for 44 hours a week, about $30 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most Austin families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. If income looks too high on paper, read what to do when income seems too high before ruling the benefit out.
