[quote=Anonymous]You need to decide if you want a housekeeper type person who cleans/cooks and helps out around the house or someone who provides nursing care. It will be tough to find one person to do both and anyone who provides nursing care will be more expensive. My ILs who live in a very low cost of living area pay someone around $15 an hour to come in 4 hours a day 5 days a week and do light housework, prepare simple breakfasts and lunches and sit with my MIL (who has dementia) while my FIL runs errands or focuses on other things. I'm honestly shocked they found someone for that price but its just a retired lady who lives in their neighborhood and needs the extra cash. My ILs are in their late 80s and the caregiver is in her early 70s. You're more likely to find someone like that through word of mouth. [/quote]
