Q: What is the going rate for home care these days?
S. Smythe, Barrington
A: The price you pay for skilled nursing care at home varies depending on the services delivered, but generally, expect to pay around $50 for a home health aide visit, between $80-$125 for a skilled nursing visit, and potentially more for physical, occupational and speech therapy, depending on the condition being treated. Keep in mind, these services may be covered by your insurer or Medicare for eligible participants.
