Although it’s the nation’s smallest state, Rhode Island has some big advantages for seniors. Within its borders, there are picturesque beaches and quaint towns, and there are comfortable summers to enjoy them. Rhode Island’s location means that you’re close to Boston and New York for big-city amenities like sports games, museums and shopping. The state is home to just over 1 million people, and 17.7% are aged 65 and over, so the state has strong programs to support its senior population.
Even though the overall cost of living is high, health care costs in Rhode Island are low and high-quality care is provided in facilities, such as The Miriam Hospital. Retirees can access a range of senior care options, including in-home and home health care. In-home care costs an average of $5,720 per month and provides nonclinical personal assistance. Because home health care offers medical services, such as skilled nursing, it’s slightly more expensive.
This guide has information about the cost of in-home care in Rhode Island, and it provides details about Medicaid and Medicare coverage for this type of care. It also includes a list of resources that can help seniors who are aging at home.
The Cost of In-Home Care in Rhode Island
The Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey shows that the average cost of in-home care in Rhode Island is $5,720 per month.

Does Medicaid Cover Home Care in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island has merged Medicaid with Home- and Community-Based Services waivers to form the Global Consumer Choice Compact Waiver. This program gives Medicaid participants more choice about their care, and it gives the state more flexibility in meeting their needs. The Global Consumer Choice Compact Waiver covers a wide variety of services provided in the home or in community care, such as assisted living.
Home Care Waiver Programs in Rhode Island
Global Consumer Choice Compact Waiver
The Global Consumer Choice Compact Waiver is a demonstration waiver that allows Rhode Island to operate its entire Medicaid program under a single waiver. The program is currently extended until the end of 2023.
As it covers all of Medicaid, it’s rare to hear the name of the waiver. Instead, it’s just referred to as Medicaid. The section that covers in-home care is known as Long-Term Services and Supports. This is available to people who are financially eligible and need a nursing home level of care.
This waiver covers a wide range of in-home and in-community services. The exact assistance available depends on your needs, and not every service is available to every participant. In general, the services that may be available in the home include homemaker services, personal care, companionship, skilled nursing and transportation. The waiver can also pay for things that can help seniors live independently, such as home modifications, personal emergency response systems and specialized medical equipment.
In addition to these general services, Long-Term Services and Supports includes the RIte@Home program. This is a shared-living program that allows seniors to reside with a caregiver. The caregiver may be someone the participant already knows, such as a relative or friend, or can be found through an agency. The caregiver receives training and a stipend for providing round-the-clock care. In this case, Medicaid doesn’t pay for room and board.
Seniors who wish to receive Long-Term Services and Supports must fill in an application and return it to the Department of Human Services. More information about the program can be found by calling the Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging at (401) 462-4444.
How to Know if You’re Eligible for Medicaid in Rhode Island
As Medicaid is designed to provide health care to low-income residents, financial considerations are the primary eligibility criteria. Applicants must meet both income and asset limits. These can differ depending on the program you’re applying for.
To be eligible for regular Medicaid, also known as Elders and Adults with Disabilities (EAD), single applicants must have an income of no more than $1,133 per month ($13,596 yearly) and assets of no more than $4,000. For those who are married, the income limit is $1,526 monthly ($18,312 annually), and the asset limit is $6,000. This is the same whether one or both spouses are applying.
Although all of a person’s income is counted, not all assets are considered when calculating Medicaid eligibility for some programs. If you need a nursing home level of care, exemptions include personal belongings, an automobile and a burial trust. Your primary home is also exempt if you’re still living there and the home equity interest is below a certain value.

Does Medicare Cover In-Home Care in Rhode Island?
In general, Medicare does not cover the cost of non-medical home care. That being said, there are situations in which Medicare provides some coverage for medical home care, referred to as “Home Healthcare.” There are several eligibility restrictions for coverage, including that individuals must be homebound and have a referral from their doctor specifically for home healthcare services.
Below is an overview of some of the skilled medical professionals whose in-home services are typically covered by Medicare – for more in-depth information, refer to our Guide to Home Healthcare.
Physical Therapists: Physical therapy is used to help patients recover from injuries (broken bones, knee injuries, etc.), treat ongoing conditions such as arthritis, and assist in recovery from surgeries and procedures such as a knee or hip replacement.
Visiting Nurses: Licensed nurses can provide a number of medical services for those who don’t need to stay in the hospital, but do need regular medical services such as wound care, changing feeding tubes, etc.
Occupational Therapists: Occupational therapists help seniors regain or maintain the ability to accomplish normal, daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and other daily activities.
Speech Therapists: Speech therapists help seniors who are struggling to adequately communicate due to a stroke, dementia, or any other cause regain the ability to functionally communicate using a variety of means. Additionally, speech therapists help to keep seniors independent by modifying diets, teaching special techniques to swallow safely, and retraining associated muscles.
As mentioned above, in-home care is distinctly different from home healthcare. But, there can be some overlap in services between the two types of care. So, while Medicare doesn’t cover non-medical in-home care, there are in-home care services that may be covered in special circumstances when they’re provided in conjunction with home healthcare (such as an occupational therapist helping with eating or dressing)
Other Financial Assistance Options for In-Home Care in Rhode Island
While the above programs help many people finance in-home care, they will not cover all costs for everyone. There are other ways to pay for in-home care, including out-of-pocket arrangements with siblings, annuities, reverse mortgages, private insurance and more. Read Caring.com’s Guide to In-Home Care Costs to learn more about these alternative payment options.
Free and Low-Cost Resources for Seniors in Rhode Island
Rhode Island has a number of free and low-cost resources available to help seniors stay safe and healthy while they age in place. Government and nonprofit organizations can help people modify their homes, access meals and respite care and pay for medication. Seniors can also find information that allows them to reach other local resources.
The Office of Healthy Aging (OHA) is the Area Agency on Aging for Rhode Island. It provides information and services to people aged 55 and older and those with a disability. It has senior centers throughout the state and can help connect seniors to meal programs, companionship and transportation. OHA administers the @Home Cost Share program that helps seniors access affordable in-home care.
Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Assistance to Elders (RIPAE) helps low-income seniors pay for prescription medicines. The program pays a portion of the cost of medications during the deductible stage of Medicare Part D, and it may also help if a senior’s medication isn’t covered under their plan.
Administered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, CareBreaks helps arrange, and may even help pay for, respite care. This can include bringing a caregiver into the home, arranging adult day care or placing seniors in an overnight facility for a short time.
Administered by the Governor’s Commission on Disabilities, the RI Livable Homes Modification Grant Program partially reimburses modifications that make homes accessible and allow people with disabilities to live more safely in their homes. The program reimburses 50% of costs up to $4,000 for many modifications, including ramps, handrails, grab bars and home monitoring systems. It can also provide backup generators for people who use electric-powered medical equipment, such as respirators or oxygen concentrators.
LIHEAP helps low-income households pay their heating bills. Heating grants can pay fuel vendors or utility companies to ensure that households stay warm during the winter. It also provides crisis assistance in case of a heat shutoff due to an unpaid bill, inability to pay for fuel or the failure of a heating system.
Meals on Wheels provides home-delivered meals to homebound seniors. Drivers offer a daily well-being check when delivering meals. The organization also has other assistance programs, including a pet food program, social meals and a restaurant program.
COVID-19 Rules for In-Home Care Providers in Rhode Island
In Rhode Island, all home care workers must be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. This includes all in-home care workers and home health care professionals, except those who qualify for an exemption. This is current as of April 2022; however, the federal or state government may make changes at any time, so check with the Office of Healthy Aging to determine the most recent requirements. Individual home care agencies may also have stricter requirements regarding vaccinations and the use of PPE. A representative of your preferred agency can provide you with their policies and procedures and answer any questions or concerns that you may have.

We’ve been using Right at Home, probably going on for 3 weeks now, for my partner’s grandmother. It’s great and the nurses are awesome. What I like the most about it is that they come right through her. They take her on errands, and they drive her to her doctor’s appointments and hair appointments if she needs them. They also provide help for bathing and having the meals and grocery shopping for her, which has been very convenient since my partner and I both work full-time jobs and don’t have all the time to do that ourselves. It’s very flexible and it’s not too expensive. She pays out of pocket and they’re there 4 times a week, which is not a problem for her. Currently, they’ve been really helpful and great.

Comfort Keepers was referred to me by a friend who had used their home care services for his mother. We had used another agency previously and although some of the girls were good, we found the service unprofessional, unreliable and unsatisfactory overall so we decided to go with his recommendation. It was the best decision we could have made. From the first phone call, Holly was so helpful and informative. She took the time to listen to our needs and placed Missy with my Dad. She is a perfect fit. She is caring, professional, reliable and has developed a great relationship with my father. She treats him with dignity and respect. She is kind and caring yet she has a strong personality and has been able to get him to allow her to help him with things that others were not able to do. I call her the “elder whisperer” and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I am grateful to my friend for his referral and to Comfort Keepers and Missy for their invaluable service.

I’ve had several caregivers from Homefront. They were all very good, polite, efficient and pleasant. The only problem I’ve had is that I had one caretaker who came quite often and because of that, I became very fond of her, and then she would start missing appointments and they had to send somebody new. So every time, there was a new one, I had to explain all kinds of things to them but they understood quickly and I had no trouble. Homefront provides a very good service and their purpose is, they try and keep elderly individuals in their home rather than go into a facility, and in my case they do that by coming here. They do my laundry, make my bed, clean my house and it enables me to continue living here rather than going to an assisted living facility. So that’s the purpose of their organization and I think they do it well. I was thinking of going into an assisted living program because I had a bad heart condition but I’m very glad that I didn’t. With the help of this agency, I get along very fine. I’ve already let them know that I have a high opinion of them and their program.

Our companions, HHAs, CNAs, RNs, and LPNs provide a wide range of medical- and non-medical home health services, including transportation, medication management, personal care, preventative care, and more.
Our care matching algorithm improves matches between seniors and caregivers, reducing caregiver turnover by 80% and increasing satisfaction rates among caregivers, seniors, and families as much as 90%.
Additionally, our Care Portal streamlines day-to-day care by allowing families and caregivers to track and coordinate care plans, schedules, tasks, and health data.
