In-Home Care in Odessa by the Numbers
Odessa In-Home Care Providers We Work With
The provider below serves Odessa families and partners with Patriot Angels on the Aid & Attendance claim.
Paying for In-Home Care in Odessa
No Odessa-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 Odessa families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. Recurring in-home care bills count as medical expenses; how VA counts medical expenses explains the math.
| 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 |
