This is often the first question families ask — and it's perfectly normal. When a loved one loses independence, it's essential to quickly understand what it means financially. At Alter Ego à Domicile, we've chosen transparency: giving you a simple, realistic, and honest view of costs.
What is the price of home nursing?
At Alter Ego à Domicile, pricing works primarily on an hourly basis.
In practice, the cost generally ranges between €10 and €20 per hour, depending on the arrangement. This variation is mainly explained by the volume of hours and the type of presence requested.
How is the rate calculated?
This is the main factor. The greater the number of hours, the more advantageous the hourly rate becomes through package deals. Occasional presence will have a higher hourly rate, while continuous presence (full day or 24/7) allows for a more advantageous rate.
The rate varies according to presence organization: daytime interventions, nighttime presence, or continuous 24/7 care.
Different types of nights
Regarding nights, it's important to distinguish three situations:
Continuous presence during the night with occasional interventions if necessary (monitoring, occasional assistance).
Regular interventions during the night, requiring more active presence with the person.
Active and continuous presence, with ongoing assistance and constant monitoring throughout the night.
Our approach: adapted solutions
Rather than rigid pricing, we favor adapted formulas for each situation:
- An hourly rate for occasional needs
- Decreasing packages for longer support
- Optimized solutions for continuous care (day and night)
Our goal is simple: find the right balance between quality presence and budget.
