Since the inception of the survey, Genworth has followed industry guidance with representing 44 hours as the estimated number of hours per week for professional inhome caregivers. Since we understand that everyone's situation may vary based on the degree of required care, you can use the Change weekly In-Home Care Hours section (located below the Cost of Care table) to adjust the number of hours from 7 hours per week to a maximum of 168 hours (24 hours of care / 7 days a week) to better represent your care needs.
