READ MOREThe median monthly fee for home care in the Palos Verdes Peninsula is $5,911. Although this is significantly more than the U.S. average, it’s more affordable than California’s norm of $6,101. The 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey also reveals the Palos Verdes Peninsula is less costly than nearby cities, such as Riverside ($6,101) and San Diego ($6,387). However, seniors venturing north may find more affordable home care services, as the median fees for Oxnard ($5,815) and Bakersfield ($5,506) are below the Palos Verdes Peninsula’s midpoint.

Although home care is a nonmedical service focused on personal care and housekeeping, its median fee of $5,911 equals home health care, a medical service from registered nurses and therapists. The cost gap between adult day care ($1,652) and assisted living ($5,250) is wide, although both provide similar services to home care. However, the services aren’t one-on-one, and, for assisted living, the senior must relocate. Nursing home care’s extensive medical services result in fees of around $9,125.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
