Sample weekly budgets for Park City and Heber
Multiply the hourly quote by the hours the agency will bill, then add any fees. The table uses hypothetical rates of $30, $40 and $50 per hour to show how the math works. These are planning assumptions. Ask providers for current local quotes. The examples exclude fees and assume the same hourly rate on every visit.
| Hours per week | Example schedule | At $30/hr | At $40/hr | At $50/hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 hours | Three 2-hour visits | $180 | $240 | $300 |
| 12 hours | Four 3-hour visits | $360 | $480 | $600 |
| 20 hours | Five 4-hour visits | $600 | $800 | $1,000 |
| 35 hours | Seven 5-hour visits | $1,050 | $1,400 | $1,750 |
For example, 12 hours a week at $40 per hour is $480 per week, $1,920 for four weeks or about $2,080 per average calendar month.
What to ask before comparing quotes
- Visit minimums. Is there a minimum per visit or per week? Three two-hour visits at $40 per hour cost $240. With a three-hour visit minimum, the same three visits could cost $360.
- Weekends and holidays. Ask which visits have a higher rate and request a weekly total for the exact days you need.
- Transportation. Ask whether time in the car counts toward visit hours and whether mileage, parking or waiting time is billed separately. For example, ask for a quote that includes the full trip between Midway and a Heber appointment.
- Home address and winter access. In Park City and Summit County, give the provider the actual ZIP code and ask how travel fees, weather delays and missed visits are handled.

Work from your provider’s quote.
Enter a quoted hourly rate and the hours being considered. No market rate is assumed.
Compare the same schedule.
Ask each agency to quote the same tasks, days and visit length. An hourly rate alone can hide meaningful differences in the weekly plan. Confirm minimum visits, weekend or holiday charges, mileage, assessments, cancellation terms and when payment is due.
The calculator treats each week as identical. Four weeks is a 28-day amount; an average calendar month uses 52 weeks divided by 12. A particular month’s invoice may differ because the calendar and actual visits differ.
Keep coverage separate from the care quote.
Ask the payer or insurer which services, providers, dates and amounts have been approved. An enquiry about benefits is not the same as payment authorization. Keep unconfirmed coverage out of the amount you rely on when deciding what you can afford.
- Private pay: confirm the full written fee schedule.
- Long-term care insurance: check the policy requirements and claim process.
- VA-funded care: confirm eligibility, authorization and provider acceptance with the VA care team.
