What home health aides costs in Mansfield
At the Louisiana median aide wage of $10.83 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $939 a month in wages, which is 33% of the $2,816 monthly median income of Mansfield households headed by someone 65 or older.

What to know before hiring a home health aide
