At the New York median aide wage of $19.05 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,651 a month in wages, which is 55% of the $3,010 monthly median income of Warrensburg households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower.
