[quote=Anonymous]I’ve posted on other threads about in-home care. We use an agency for my aunt (though she doesn’t have dementia). The rate is $34/hour. I know people who pay less than the agency rate for someone privately. This makes sense since the agency takes a percentage. This might be an option but you will likely find yourself scrambling for coverage at times due to illness, holiday, weather, family emergencies. This was a risk we couldn’t take since my aunt lives alone and is bedridden. The other issue is that I don’t believe you can take the tax deduction for medical expenses unless you are doing it all above board which would then add to your cost. In my aunt’s case, care well exceeds $100k/year so that tax deduction is important. [/quote]
