Families in St. Petersburg often ask one of the most important questions first: “How much does home care cost?” Clear pricing helps families plan with confidence, and the best agencies share this information upfront. At Seniors Helping Seniors®, we believe in transparency, so you know what to expect before care begins.
Hourly Rates for Home Care in St. Petersburg
- 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, 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 St. Petersburg 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 St. Pete 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)
These programs provide added options for families, even though private pay remains the most common.
