Bristol In-Home Care Costs and VA Benefits
No Bristol-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Virginia median of $6,673 a month for 44 hours a week, about $35 an hour (CareScout 2025). Most Bristol families start with fewer hours, which keeps the bill well under the full-time figure. Bristol families can find the benefit amounts and filing rules in our Aid & Attendance fact sheet.
