[quote=Anonymous]Insurance usually doesn't cover the cost of a home health aide and I think this is one reason people who have been in severe accidents will have to sue everybody and anybody in sight - the need help to pay for the long term care if they cannot manage things themselves. I pay $25 to $28 an hour for a home health aide for my husband who helps him get dressed, groom and bathe, transfer from bed to wheelchair, and prepare meals. This is through an agency. The aide doesn't get that hourly rate. However going through an agency protects us from having to deal with unemployment insurance and workers comp or injuries to the aide on the job.[/quote]
