Cost

What live-in care costs in Bexley

Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $16.57 an hour (the Ohio median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $3,590 a month (54% of the $6,628 monthly median income of Bexley households headed by someone 65+). Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $12,063 a month (182% of the $6,628 monthly median income of Bexley households headed by someone 65+). Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both. Ohio's minimum wage is $11.00 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 Medicaid programs for family caregivers: who can be paid, and the rules in 12 states.

Before you hire

What to know before hiring a live-in caregiver

Put the arrangement in writing: hours on duty, sleep time, days off, the room and pay (federal rules: DOL Fact Sheet 79B).

Questions worth asking: Have you lived in with a client before, and for how long? What days off and sleep time do you need? How do you handle being woken at night? More in our live-in caregivers guide.
