[quote=Anonymous]I set up 24/hr care in my mother's home for her last Spring. This was in NY, about an hour north of Manhattan. It cost $2,800 a week, which covered two people. Each received a weekly salary of $1,400 as a "live in" - which worked out to each working roughly a 12 hour shift and handing off to each other for coverage as needed for personal errands, sleep, etc... I hired them through an agency, but they were sisters so they worked really well together as a team. It isn't a level of cost we would have been able to sustain for more than a few months, but my mother was terminally ill so it was well worth it to ensure maximum comfort in her own home in her final weeks.[/quote]
