[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please hire someone to give you a day off or at minimum a free period each day to be fully off. The emotional and mental weight of care giving is intense. We all burn out eventually without respite. [/quote] +100 For your own health and well being hire someone (Dad pays) on a regular basis to at least do one 8 hour "shift" or half shift each day. Too many women ruin their health taking care of elders. It's not sustainable to be the solo 24/7 caregiver. That hire will also give you a basis for what you charge. If you charge the same per hour, your Dad will be getting a deal since you will also be sleeping there (cost for overnight or live-in aides would be more) and I'm sure you will also be doing many administrative and logistics-related things a basic home health aide wouldn't do (at least not without an extra fee).[/quote]
