Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
We need a health care assistant to live in with my mom full time. Room and board included and all amenities covered. Light meal preparation/light housework. She's having chemo and it’s made her very forgetful and low energy.
Thefourts, if you hire an "independent contractor", someone who is not employed by an agency, please note that you will need to contact your homeowner's insurance carrier to sign up for a workman's comp policy. This policy helps in case the caregiver gets hurt on the job.
The range I have seen is between $12-$20/hr depending on the hours and the tasks.
I know of a male caregiver who comes late at night and SLEEPS till morning at a house of an elderly man. His job is to keep an eye/ear on the elderly man in case he needs anything. Other than that, he sleeps till morning then leaves. He gets $12/hr.
If the live-in caregiver you plan to hire works day time with 6 hours break, and be on-call at night, then there should be compensation for those wee hours, too, even if the caregiver just sleeps.
i say 7 days as a way to refer to live in permanently. my mom sleeps roughly 8-10 hours soundly a night as will the caregiver. all meals will be eaten at same time except when or if the caregiver is not there during her break of 6 hours, where she will leave or stay at the house, as she wishes. At that period I or one of my siblings will be at the house during those hours, doing chores, cooking, and spending time with our mom. thanks :)
It varies from country to country, state to state, region to region, county to county and city to city and so forth. Research your mother's local area using a good search engine or possibly using the Bureau of Labor and Industries web site.
Thefourts, this isn't an employment job board, it's a educational and support forum for caregivers and those receiving care. If you need to hire someone consider contacting an agency.

Check you states labor laws regarding required time off, require time allowed for sleep and meals, etc.
Know your laws prior to interviewing and hiring and you’ll likely do better at finding the right person.
Sorry if this is butting in as it’s not directly answering your question.
my mom sleeps roughly 8-10 hours soundly a night as will the caregiver.
all meals will be eaten at same time except when or if the caregiver is not there during her break of 6 hours, where she will leave or stay at the house, as she wishes. At that period I or one of my siblings will be at the house during those hours, doing chores, cooking, and spending time with our mom.
thanks :)
It depends on what type of caregiver that you wish to hire. It can range from $10 per hour to $25 and up.
Maybe others that have hired privately will tell you of their experiences.
Best wishes to you and your family.
