What dementia care costs in Thompson's Station
At the Tennessee median aide wage of $15.45 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,339 a month in wages, which is 20% of the $6,625 monthly median income of Thompson's Station households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower.
