Los Angeles Family Saving $255,000 a Year with CareFamily
Apr 30, 2025
On a sunny afternoon in their cozy Los Angeles home, a devoted couple sits together, enjoying tea and cookies. Married for many wonderful decades, they have shared countless memories in this house. At ages 98 and 93, they can't imagine leaving the home where they've spent so much of their lives.
But not long ago, staying at home felt impossible. Their home care expenses through an agency had soared to $11,000 every single week. Even with their long-term care insurance, they still paid $8,650 a week out-of-pocket. Four different caregivers rotated in and out of their home each week, which felt overwhelming and stressful.
"It was getting really hard," the wife said. "We loved several of our caregivers, but having so many people coming and going was exhausting. And the costs were draining our savings fast."
Their Life Care Manager saw the couple's stress and the disappearing savings. She already knew about CareFamily's private home care in Los Angeles and arranged a call with their financial advisor to discuss the possibility. When the advisor saw the numbers, he was amazed. He confirmed that switching to private home care could save them $255,000 every year.
"I couldn't believe the difference," the husband said, a former UCLA professor and social worker. "It felt too good to be true."
But it was true. With the support of CareFamily, they switched from the rotating caregivers to two carefully chosen private family caregivers. One caregiver lives in four days straight, and the other covers three days. The couple got to personally select these caregivers, making sure they fit perfectly with their personalities and needs.
The switch made a huge difference financially and emotionally. With these savings, the couple can comfortably stay in their beloved home for another 10 years, maybe even longer if they choose. They had thought about moving into an assisted living facility, but now staying home feels right—and affordable.
"Now, it feels like we have the dream team around us," the wife said with a warm smile. "Our caregivers, care manager, and financial advisor really look out for us. They truly have our best interests at heart."
Thanks to their team of trusted advisors, the couple found more than just savings—they found peace of mind. Now, instead of worrying about finances or frequent call-offs, they get to enjoy more afternoons together in the home they've always loved.
If your family is facing rising home care costs or wants a more personalized care experience, learn more about how CareFamily can help. You might find that private home care is the right fit for you.
