Sandy In-Home Care Costs and VA Benefits
No Sandy-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Utah median of $7,484 a month for 44 hours a week, about $39 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most Sandy families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to VA’s income and asset rules shows how in-home care costs lower countable income.
| Benchmark | Per month | Left after up to $3,845 |
|---|---|---|
| Utah in-home care, 44 hrs/week | $7,484 | $3,639 |
| Utah in-home care, 20 hrs/week | $3,402 | $0 |
| U.S. in-home care, 44 hrs/week | $6,673 | $2,828 |
