Nine years ago, we tried Visiting Angels for awhile to keep my mom in her home. It was $20.00 an hour back then. My mom needed care 24/7 so $480.00 per day. Medicare wouldn't cover a dime.
It's truly frightening what elder care costs. I tried doing it myself in our home for six months until my own health began to fail. The word exhaustion doesn't even come close to describing what one on one care, all day, everyday, does to a person.
I know...I went through the whole thing with my mother from about 2009 to 2016. The big break came when she ran out of money and got on the state (AZ) medicaid roles.
