What would the cost be for a home care aid to come for about 4 hours a week?

care for brother in law -My sister is sole caretaker of her husband - she wants to keep him home with her. She had medical problems herself and needs to go for therphy 2 times a week and has no one to stay with him. She would like someone - preferable a male-
to stay in her home while she goes for her treatments- - what would the costs be for this service? Approximately 4 hrs a week.

Depending on where they live, they should be able to get quality care for $76-$80 a week. The nice thing for the daughter/son is that many of the chores they are doing now can be done while the caregiver is there.

The cost depends on where you live. In California, private caregivers charge about $15. an hour. How about asking at church, neighbors, responsible teen children of friends?
Good luck to you.
