In-Home Care in Dallas by the Numbers
In-Home Care Partners Near Dallas
There is no Patriot Angels in-home care provider based in Dallas yet. These are the closest Texas partners, by straight-line distance.
What In-Home Care Costs in Dallas
No Dallas-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 Dallas families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. Before applying, review VA’s income and asset rules so the in-home care bill is counted the right way.
| Benchmark | Per month | Left after up to $3,845 |
|---|---|---|
| Texas in-home care, 44 hrs/week | $5,720 | $1,875 |
| Texas in-home care, 20 hrs/week | $2,600 | $0 |
| U.S. in-home care, 44 hrs/week | $6,673 | $2,828 |
