How much should I charge to be the caregiver of my dad who lives with me?

I signed up to get paid to care for my dad who is dependent on me for pretty much all ADL's but I am unsure of what to tell them I will be charging. I live in Central Texas and it would be private care in my home 24/7.

Were did you sign up? If it's through Medicaid, they will determine what you get paid, I assume. If you mean you did it through the family, then I'd check with in-home care agencies and get some kind of a base hourly fee. That can at least be a starting point. Take care,

I am in oregon and get paid through the state. I was making $1500 a month but it was dropped down to $1258 since she has not fallen here in my home.
