As of April 2021, we have updated our rates! To better serve our clients, we have switched to a self-selected sliding scale model. Please see our new Rates explanation below:
Rates for Care
T4T Caregiving practices Justice Pricing in the form of a self-selected sliding scale. This means that you will determine your own daily rate depending on your level of economic access. There is no application process and we do not ask about your income - we trust and support your autonomy to choose your own rate. During your email consultation, we will send you an online form that will walk you through how to choose the best rate for your economic circumstances.
Rates for Care Options:
Market Rate: Our standard Market Rate is $225 per day. This reflects the market value for this type of 24-hour full service caregiving. This is what we would always charge if we weren't reducing rates to create access.
Reduced Rate: Our Reduced Rates range from $215-$135 per day. This range exists for those who experience some financial hardship, but also are able to access needs. If you have a steady income or a financial safety net, this range is for you.
Community Rate: Our Community Rate is $125 per day. This rate exists only for those who struggle to afford needs such as healthcare, stable housing, and food. If paying at a Reduced Rate would cause your basic needs to go unmet, this rate is for you.
These rates are for around-the-clock care. We typically recommend booking a caregiver for 2-3 weeks post hospital discharge after lower surgery and for 1-2 weeks after top surgery, facial surgery, orchiectomy, or hysterectomy.
In addition to the care rates, you will also need to cover the cost of food and travel expenses for your caregiver for the time they are staying with you. All bookings of 7+ days will incur a care coordination fee of $100. Bookings of 6 days or less will incur a care coordination fee of $50. Managing T4T Caregiving requires many hours per day of emails, phone calls, texts, Zoom meetings, paperwork, bookkeeping, and more. Since we are a small team operating a nationwide service, the care coordination fee helps sustain us and ensure that we can respond to everyone in a timely manner!

Once you've confirmed with one of our Caregivers, our payment policy is as follows:
A non-refundable deposit of $250 is required to secure your caregiver. This can be sent via PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, or by check – whichever is most convenient for you. This $250 goes towards your care costs. Because we are a small scale project, we need to be sure that the people we book are truly committed to the care they are to receive. If not, we end up booking our time with no way to fill it in the case of a last minute cancellation.
Payment for Care Expectation:
Cancellation Policy:
We understand that anything can change at any moment - that insurance issues may arise, that travel may not work out, or that you may change your mind about your commitment. We fully support your autonomous right to make your own decisions. We simply ask for a cancellation fee because our caregivers are allotting weeks of their time to you. These spots cannot be filled last minute, causing the caregiver to be out of work in the event of a cancellation.
To supplement this loss, the policy is as follows:
Payment for Care Expectation:
- 50% of care balance is due 4 weeks prior to beginning date of service
- 50% remainder is due 2 weeks prior to beginning date of service
