Families · What it costs
The number, when we have one. The truth, when we don’t.
In-home care has a published rate — it’s just below, in plain sight. The daily rate at the houses is told to each family directly; ask Cari and she’ll tell you too. How insurance, waivers, inclusions and add-ons work is all here.
