[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Just wanted to say that you shouldn't get paid the amount you would get paid to do your job. It should be market for what it would cost someone else to do it.[/b]

At a minimum, outsource the laundry. Anyone can do that and it's one less thing for you to do.[/quote]

I'm a pp from last night that said my brother, that lives locally to my west coast dad, charges for the care he provides.   I think I posted that he charges $25/hr for care and $35/hr for accounting/financial things (like paying bills.)  I just read over his last email and it's actually $35/hr for care and $45/hr for the financial.  He also gets the federal reimbursement rate for any mileage.

Each month he emails us (me, other brother, and my dad) an accounting of everything--any money my dad has received (social security, a pension, reimbursement for care my mom received before she died, etc.) as well as all money going out (the cost of his assisted living, payments to my brother, etc.)   So my brother is paid for the time it takes him to create that email statement as well.

The payment to my brother comes out of my Dad's money--he is not paid by other brother and I.

Anyway, just thought I'd put that out there to maybe give OP an idea of rates.[/quote]
