What 24-hour home care costs in Post
24-hour care is 168 paid hours a week. At $11.65 an hour (the Texas median aide wage) that is about $8,481 a month in wages before any overtime, 280% of the $3,025 monthly median income of Post households headed by someone 65+. Rates are agreed with each caregiver. Texas's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour (U.S. Department of Labor table, updated July 1, 2026).
Hiring directly, you agree the rate with the caregiver and usually become the household employer (U.S. Department of Labor rules). Some families qualify for programs that pay for care at home; see STAR+PLUS in Texas: using consumer directed services to pay a family caregiver.
What to know before hiring a 24-hour caregiver
24-hour care is the most hours a family can arrange at home, and the most costly. Each caregiver works a set shift, often two 12-hour or three 8-hour shifts a day, so nobody works all night after working all day. Minimum wage and overtime rules apply to each caregiver you employ directly; for workers who live in the home see DOL Fact Sheet 79B.
Questions worth asking: How do you hand over to the next caregiver? Can you work fixed shifts on the same days each week? Have you worked on a team caring for one client? More in our 24-hour home care guide.
