Getting In-Home Help: Three Options
Getting help with caregiving in the home involves the following options:
- Using a home health care agency (typical fee range: $50 to $150 per visit through a private agency)
- Hiring someone privately (typical fee range: $12 to $15 per hour; the cost of assistance is based on the category of professional or his or her experience)
- Performing all caregiving duties with the assistance of family and friends.
I am a disabled 75 year old person with no family support. I am very low income and I find it difficult to get needed information for my care.
