Private home healthcare refers to in-home care services that are paid for directly by the patient or their family, rather than through Medicaid or Medicare. These plans are fully customizable, meaning care hours, tasks, and caregiver schedules are built around the individual’s needs with no insurance restrictions. Private home care services can include personal care, skilled nursing, companionship, and more.

Private home care costs in New York City typically range from $25 to $40 per hour depending on the level of care required. Skilled nursing services, such as those provided by a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), tend to sit at the higher end of that range. Costs vary based on the number of hours needed weekly, the type of care, and whether you are working with a licensed private pay home health care agency or an independent caregiver.

The national average for private duty home care runs between $25 and $35 per hour, but in high-cost areas like New York City, families should budget toward the upper end of that range or beyond. Agencies offering private home care services typically bundle insurance, background screening, and caregiver oversight into their rates, which is why agency rates tend to be higher than hiring independently. For many families, that added protection is worth the difference.

Getting started with private pay home health care services begins with identifying the level of care your loved one needs, whether that is personal care assistance, companionship, or skilled nursing. From there, you contact a private pay home care agency directly, which will assess your needs and match a caregiver accordingly. Most agencies do not require insurance pre-authorization, so care can often begin quickly once an assessment is complete.

If you hire through a private care in the home agency, payment is typically made directly to the agency on a weekly or biweekly basis. Independent caregivers are usually paid by the hour in cash, check, or digital transfer, and families are responsible for payroll tax filings if the caregiver qualifies as a household employee. Working with a licensed private home care agency removes this administrative burden entirely.
