Mom is 88, lives at home, by herself. I am looking for bathing help for her, Would prefer to use an agency, not a private caregiver. What is the minimum number of hours a week that agencies typically require?
I lucked out. My daughter had a friend who worked as a private aide. She was a bus aide. When she was done with the bus, she came to my house and bathed Mom. It took about a half hour to bathe and dress her. She then would sit and talk to Mom. She did this 3x a week. This was 2014 and I paid her $10 a day. I wish now it had been $15. But I was watching Moms money. There were a couple of times she couldn't make it, I still paid her $30 a week. Eventually Mom was going to Adult care and they gave her a bath.
Each area is different and each task is different, so you will only know when you call the actual companies that would be providing the service.
