| Assisted living | $6,945 | $6,200 | 55% |
| Nursing home, semi-private room | $10,250 | $9,581 | 38% |
All Virginia figures are CareScout 2025 medians. Agency rates vary with the hours, the shift length and whether care is overnight.

Featured Virginia Partners
Licensing for Virginia Home Care Agencies
Virginia requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Home Care Organization (HCO) license, issued by Virginia Department of Health, Office of Licensure and Certification. Ask any agency for its license number and look it up before the first visit.
An agency that employs its caregivers handles payroll taxes and workers’ comp. A private hire leaves those duties with the family.
