[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is she? Is she healthy otherwise? Trying to figure out how long she will live. Don't send her to a home. She will not be treated there well. If you don't want to move her in, you could hire 24-7 care for her. If you hire thru an agency, that will likely cost around 150k per year, perhaps more. You could do private pay as well but that is harder unless your wife can go over there if someone calls out (maybe she can). Private pay could be cheaper. You could also let her move in, but hire help to come to your house, but that means you have strangers in your house. Or maybe you could build an ADU in one of your yards and she could live there? I think it would be fair to charge the estate 15 to 20 dollars an hour for every hour of care your wife provides.[/quote] So interesting that the brother above gets $37-47/hour, yet the suggestion here for the wife is $15-20/hour, nearly half or more less than what the man is paid.[/quote]
