Questions families ask
How much does home care cost in Traverse City?
In Michigan, non-medical home care costs about $33 to $35 an hour (CareScout 2025 cost of care survey: about $79,500 a year for full-time care). Prices in Traverse City are close to that. Full-time care of 40 hours a week often runs about $5,700 to $6,100 a month. The agency will give you their exact price at the free visit.
Does Medicare pay for home care?
Medicare does not pay for ongoing non-medical home care like help with bathing, meals or company. It only covers short-term medical home health after a hospital stay, ordered by a doctor. Most families pay for non-medical care from savings, income, or long-term care insurance.
Is the in-home visit really free?
Yes. The visit is free for your family and you don't have to sign anything. A local agency comes to your parent's home, asks about their needs and gives you a care plan and a price.
How fast can care start?
Many agencies can start within a few days of the visit. If your parent is coming home from the hospital, say so on the form so we can look for an agency that can move fast.
Are the agencies licensed?
We only work with licensed or registered agencies that check their caregivers. Ask the agency about background checks, training and insurance at the visit.
