Cost

What disability care for adults costs in Valencia West

At the Arizona median aide wage of $17.51 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,518 a month in wages, which is 25% of the $6,099 monthly median income of Valencia West households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. Arizona's minimum wage is $15.15 an hour (U.S. Department of Labor table, updated July 1, 2026).

Hiring directly, you agree the rate with the caregiver and usually become the household employer (U.S. Department of Labor rules). Some families qualify for programs that pay for care at home; see ALTCS family caregiver rules: how to get paid to care for a family member in Arizona.

Before you hire

What to know before hiring a disability support caregiver

Many state Medicaid programs let adults with disabilities direct their own care: they, or a representative, hire and supervise the caregiver.

Questions worth asking: Have you supported adults with a disability like mine (or my family member’s)? How do you support someone to do things themselves? Can you drive to work, school or day programs? More in our disability care for adults guide.

CaregiverConnect does not run background checks. Check identity, references and any certification yourself before anyone starts. The Safety Center explains how.
