How to choose

  1. Call to confirm the agency serves your street, has openings and can start when you need it.
  2. Look at both star scores: how patients' health changed, and what patients said.
  3. Check the services you need are offered, such as physical therapy or an aide.
  4. Medicare pays when a doctor orders part-time skilled care and the person is homebound.

Questions to ask when you call

  • How soon can your first visit be?
  • Who will visit, and how often?
  • Do you take my Medicare plan or insurance?
  • Who do I call after hours or on weekends?

Independent and free

PlanScout is not paid by any agency, and the order is never sold. Missing data says “Not rated” or “Not reported”, never zero.

What aides are paid near you

Typical hourly wage for home health and personal care aides near you
$17.48 an hour
Des Moines-West Des Moines, IA metro area, May 2025
Middle half of aides earn $16.85 to $18.17 an hour

This is what aides are paid, from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is not what an agency charges. Agencies charge more than the wage to cover payroll taxes, insurance, training, scheduling and their own costs, so ask any agency for its rates.

Median hourly wages in the same area and period.

What Medicare paid

What Medicare paid, on average, per 30-day home health period in Iowa
$1,749
CY 2024
Based on 39,686 stays

This is the average amount Medicare paid providers in 2024 for people on Original Medicare. It is not a price list and not what you would owe. What you pay depends on your coverage, how long you stay and whether Medicare covers the care.

Source: CMS Medicare Post-Acute Care Utilization data by geography and provider; retrieved 2026-10-08.

Agencies choose which ZIP codes they serve, and that list can change. Call to confirm they have openings, take your insurance and can start when you need them. Star ratings are Medicare measures, not a recommendation. Sources: CMS Home Health Care Agencies, Home Health Care ZIP Codes and the HHCAHPS Patient Survey (CMS release 2026-07-15; HHCAHPS 2025Q1 to 2025Q4), retrieved 2026-10-08. “Not rated” and “Not reported” mean Medicare published no value — never a zero.
