Home Care Cost with ConsidraCare
Caring for seniors in Ontario is not cheap and can cost thousands of dollars per month.
Depending on the type of care needed, senior home care costs can include caregiver wages and benefits, and the costs of background checks, interviewing, training, coordination, taxes, government charges and insurance and cost of housing for facilities based care.
Although home care agencies do not publish their prices, at ConsidraCare we believe that the clients should get full visibility into how much the care for their loved ones can cost, so they can make the right decision.
You can use the senior care cost calculator below to estimate the weekly budget for ConsidraCare’s home care services for seniors.
You can also get a full care service price breakdown on our pricing page.
