[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father wants to compensate me/come up with a plan because I’m taking care of my mom full time alone and around the clock (as my father stays in Florida and I am staying with her in the Washington DC area) [/quote]

If she was at home with caregivers you'd have to hire them 24/7 and they are around $25/hour (low). So that's 600 per day x 30. $18,000 a month. $5000 a month is a bargain for them. [/quote]

I work in this industry and can tell you that the current pricing in DMV for in-home caregiver is closer to $34/hr. (But that is if you are paying a company who sends a caregiver to you that they likely pay $18-24/hr)
However, live-in 24/7 care is actually less expensive because the model assumes that caregiver gets 7 hours of rest (while client is sleeping). So the rate varies bit for 24/7 in home live-in care, a client would pay somewhere in the range of $375-425/day. So that works out to roughly $11,000/month in the low end. Again that’s the rate a client would pay to a caregiver company to supply a 24/7 livein caregiver.

So yes, $5000 a month to care for someone to pay you to provide one-on-one care in their home is a steal.
