You might want to see if your health insurance plan covers it. I'm living in New York and I use Summit Home Health Care. Some of the cost is covered by Medicaid, and I'm pretty sure at least part of it would be covered for you if you have Medicare or private insurance.

Fees around here are $10.00 to 16.00 per hour depending on the amount of actual nursing care needed.

Hello. I offer support care in your home. I can be flexible with my hours. I charge $15.00 per hour or $50.00 for 4 hours. So I can come in the AM and help you dress and make breakfast. I will make your lunch for later. I can then come back for dinner and get you ready for bed. I do charge a minimum of 2 hours when I come out. Sure hope you find someone who is helpful and also good company :)

I just checked on hourly health care. I severely damaged my right arm, wrist and hand. It will be at least 10 weeks and I am facing another surgery. I have learned there I not much I can do with my left hand since I am right handed. But worse than that, there is not much we can do without using both hands,

But to answer your question about hourly health care cost. It depends on whether you need professional nursing care or help watching someone, cleaning coking or running errands. The cost will range between $12.00 to $25.00 per hour. The more hours you need, the less the cost and if you just need a sitter or helper, it would be, $15.00-$18.00 per hour. You can call any local private health care service in your area and they will give you a break down of charges according to the many services available.

I hope you can find a good service company and get the help you need. Also, check with your insurance company, sometimes a few services may be covered for a short time in home health care.

I have found 2 lovely companions for my Mom there. Depending on the amount of nursing care involved prices are $10.00-16.00 per hour in our area. Best money ever spent twice a week. Good luck!
