Licensed in-home care in Salem, OR: how to compare agencies
We ranked the top seven in-home care agencies serving Salem, OR. Every one holds an active Oregon In-Home Care Agency license in the Oregon Health Authority public roster dated October 28, 2026, and each has at least 10 public reviews.

In-home care means non-medical help that lets an older adult keep living at home: bathing and dressing, meals, housekeeping, errands, medication reminders and company. It is usually paid for privately, with long-term care insurance, a Medicaid program or VA benefits, not by Medicare. Compare at least three agencies, and ask each whether caregivers are employees, how they are screened, who supervises them, the minimum hours and the hourly rate.
In Oregon, the median rate for in-home care is $40 an hour, about $3,467 a month for 20 hours a week (CareScout 2025).
The 14 agencies on this list are based in 6 ZIP codes; the busiest are 97301 (5 agencies), 97305 (2 agencies) and 97302 (2 agencies). By license type: In-Home Care Agency (Comprehensive) (11) and In-Home Care Agency (Limited) (3). If Salem has too few choices for your needs, the closest other cities we list are Mcminnville (4 agencies, about 21 miles away), Albany (4 agencies, about 22 miles away) and Newberg (3 agencies, about 26 miles away).

Questions Salem families ask
How many licensed in-home care agencies are there in Salem?
The state roster dated October 28, 2026 lists 14 agencies in Salem with an active Oregon license. Agencies based in nearby towns may also serve Salem.
How do I choose an in-home care agency in Salem?
Call at least three. Ask whether caregivers are employees or independent contractors, how they are screened and supervised, the minimum hours and the hourly rate, and what happens when a caregiver is sick. Ask for a written care plan. Our guide to how to check an agency has the full list.
How are these agencies ranked?
Each agency has an active state license and at least 10 public reviews. The Care Close to Home Score is out of 100: 60 points for the review rating, adjusted so a handful of reviews counts for less than a hundred; 20 for the number of reviews; 15 for the license check; and 5 for a verified phone and website. Agencies cannot pay to rank higher.
How do families pay for in-home care in Salem?
Most pay privately, by the hour. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers and VA benefits can help with bathing help, meals, housekeeping or companionship.
What does "licensed" mean?
The agency holds a license from the state health department. Licensing sets minimum standards and allows the state to inspect and act on complaints, but it does not rate how good the care is.
