How much does home care cost in Staten Island, New York?

In Staten Island, home care costs an average of $32 per hour, based on A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[01] Staten Island’s average hourly rate is higher than the national average rate of $31. This difference reflects the cost of living in Staten Island, which is 28% higher than the national average.[02]

Home care’s hourly structure allows families to adjust care levels as needed, whether for occasional companionship or more regular support with daily tasks. Families often hire part-time home care for around 20 hours per week. Based on the average hourly rate in Staten Island, part-time home care costs $2,771 per month. A full-time home care schedule of about 44 hours per week may be a better fit for seniors who need more assistance, companionship, and supervision. Full-time home care in Staten Island costs about $6,097 per month.

For seniors who need more than part-time care, families may want to consider assisted living, memory care, or a nursing home, which may be more cost-effective than full-time or round-the-clock home care.
