Many families seek compassionate care options as their loved ones age. Assisted living facilities and nursing homes are common choices for people who need medical care. In-home care services offer an alternative that lets your loved one age comfortably at home while taking pressure off family caregivers.
Visiting Angels is one of the largest home care agencies. Its services range from a few hours of daily support to round-the-clock care, including specialized and respite care options.
In this article, we’ll share the services Visiting Angels offers and how much its care plans cost.
Visiting Angels was founded in 1998 to provide non-medical, in-home care to older adults, helping them to age in place comfortably. It now has more than 800 franchises.
Whether offering senior companion care or hands-on assistance for complex medical conditions, Visiting Angels has a wide range of caregivers with different backgrounds and experience. This allows Visiting Angels to personalize each care plan to the individual’s needs.
Since staying in a familiar environment can help maintain high spirits and support mental and emotional health, Visiting Angels provides personal care services without disrupting your loved one's home life or requiring a move to a care facility. The support of Visiting Angels allows family members, who are often primary caregivers, to return to their normal routines.
There are a number of ways Visiting Angels supports you and your loved ones:
Companionship: Caregivers can spend time with clients, helping them enjoy hobbies, offering social interaction, and engaging in activities to reduce loneliness and support overall quality of life.
Personal care: Caregivers may provide support with bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, and other daily personal tasks.
Mobility assistance: Caregivers help clients move around their homes safely.
Medication reminders: Caregivers will often keep track of medication schedules, ensuring that clients take their medications at the correct times.
Light housekeeping and meal preparation: Caregivers can help with cooking, laundry, and cleaning to make clients’ home lives more comfortable.
Specialized care: Visiting Angels also offers support for Alzheimer’s and dementia care, hospice care, and end-of-life care.
Companion care: $15–25 per hour
This typically covers friendly conversation and company, assistance with light household chores, and transportation.
Personal care: $20–30 per hour
This involves more hands-on care, such as bathing assistance, dressing, grooming, help getting around, and feeding.
Specialized Care: $25–40 per hour
This rate is for care provided to individuals with additional support needs like memory care. It may also be best for those who need rehabilitation assistance after surgery.
Overnight care can range from $180 to $280 per night. The difference in pricing depends on whether the caregiver must stay awake to assist during the night or if they are permitted to sleep while being on-call.
The price for round-the-clock care is often between $200-300 a day or $6,000-9,000 per month. The final cost depends on the location, the level of care needed, and the caregiver’s experience.
Visiting Angels also offers flexible care options, including part-time, full-time, and hourly visits, so families can choose the type of care that fits their needs and budgets.
The cost of Visiting Angels often varies based on your location, the type of care needed, the number of hours per week, and the frequency of visits. Some franchises may also charge extra for travel, weekends and holiday hours, specialized care, or administrative fees.

Medicare will only pay for medically necessary care. This means most services provided by Visiting Angels are not covered by Medicare. Some Medicare Advantage plans will provide home care benefits beyond those covered by Original Medicare, but benefits vary between plans.
Families seeking non-medical care through Visiting Angels usually need to pay out-of-pocket or use other forms of insurance or financial assistance, such as long-term care insurance or veterans benefits.
