Understanding Home Care Costs
Rates of care may vary based on the type of service, schedule, and the caregiverโs qualifications chosen by the family. Visiting Angelsโ Nurse Registry team works closely with families to explain all available options, ensuring that they can select the level of care that best supports their loved oneโs daily life. This guidance provides families with confidence in planning for both short-term needs and long-term care strategies.
Families in Sun City benefit from the flexibility of independent contractors who provide care as referred through the registry. Because these caregivers operate as independent contractors, families have access to highly skilled individuals who can consistently and reliably provide personalized support. This model allows seniors to receive care in their homes with continuity, autonomy, and dignity.
In a Nurse Registry model, caregivers are independent contractors, not employees. That means they have the professional freedom to set their own hourly rates based on their skills, experience, and availability. Visiting Angelsโ role is to help families navigate those choices with clarity and confidence.
How the Process Works:
- During our free inโhome assessment, families share their care needs, preferred schedule, and, most importantly, their budget.
- With that information, Visiting Angelsโ Registry staff identifies the skilled contracted caregivers whose rates fall within that budget and who have the right qualifications for the clientโs care plan.
- For this referral and coordination service, Visiting Angels charges an administrative fee, which is separate from the caregiverโs rate.
Who Decides Rate Changes?
All caregiver rate increases are decided solely by the family.
Because caregivers are independent contractors, they do not receive raises from Visiting Angels. Instead, families choose whether to increase the caregiverโs rate based on satisfaction, longevity, or evolving care needs.
Why This Model Creates the Best Outcomes
This structure consistently leads to strong, stable care relationships because:
- Families stay in control of their budget
- Caregivers are matched based on skillset, schedule, and rate alignment
- Clients receive care from professionals who are qualified for their specific needs
- Caregivers feel respected and valued for their expertise
- Everyone enters the relationship with clear expectations and mutual agreement
When the familyโs budget, the caregiverโs rate, and the clientโs needs all align, the result is a smooth, satisfying experience for everyone involved; clients, families, and caregivers alike.
