Families in Sarasota often ask one of the most important questions early on: “How much does home care cost?” Clear, upfront pricing helps families make confident decisions, and the best agencies share this information openly. At Seniors Helping Seniors®, we believe transparency builds trust from the very beginning. We proudly serve Sarasota and surrounding areas, including Lakewood Ranch, a growing community with many families seeking dependable in-home support.
Hourly Rates for Home Care in Sarasota
- Homemaker & Companionship services: $33/hour
- Personal Care (help with bathing, mobility, and activities of daily living): $36/hour
- Couples care: 1.5x the hourly rate (including holidays)
We keep pricing straightforward and easy to understand, with no hidden fees.
Minimums and Payment Options
- Minimum of 3 hours per visit
- Minimum of 6 hours per week
- Billing: ACH auto-debit every two weeks / weekly for 24/7 care
- Credit card payments accepted with a $1/hour increase in rate
👉 Our standard minimums apply in most cases, but for Sarasota families who only need limited homemaker or companionship support, we occasionally make exceptions when our schedule allows. Please ask us during your consultation if this may apply to your situation.
Covered Services vs. Private Pay
Most families in Sarasota pay privately for home care services, but we are also contracted with:
- VA (Veterans Affairs) for eligible veterans and spouses
- Medicare Advantage plans
- PACE programs (for dual-eligible individuals)
While private pay is the most common, these contracts provide families with additional flexibility and confidence.

Most families can begin care within one week of their consultation. The process includes:
