The cost of home health care in Hawaii is $30 per hour on average. However, actual costs can vary significantly depending on the location and services required. As a guideline, seniors who need low levels of home health care will usually pay around $910 per month. This is based on needing seven hours of care each week. Those who require full-time care throughout the day, or 56 hours per week, can expect to pay in the region of $7,280 each month. Around-the-clock home health care in Hawaii would cost around $21,840 per month.
