What disability care for adults costs in Rawlins
At the Wyoming median aide wage of $15.96 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,383 a month in wages, which is 32% of the $4,322 monthly median income of Rawlins households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. Wyoming's state rate is lower than the federal one, so employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act pay at least the federal $7.25 an hour (U.S. Department of Labor).
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 Medicaid programs for family caregivers: who can be paid, and the rules in 12 states.
What to know before hiring a disability support caregiver
Many state Medicaid programs let adults with disabilities direct their own care: they, or a representative, hire and supervise the caregiver.
Questions worth asking: Have you supported adults with a disability like mine (or my family member’s)? How do you support someone to do things themselves? Can you drive to work, school or day programs? More in our disability care for adults guide.
