Cost

What live-in care costs in Crestview Hills

Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $17.52 an hour (the Kentucky median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $3,796 a month (86% of the $4,409 monthly median income of Crestview Hills households headed by someone 65+). Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $12,755 a month (289% of the $4,409 monthly median income of Crestview Hills households headed by someone 65+). Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both. Kentucky's minimum wage is $7.25 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 How to get paid to care for a family member in Kentucky: Participant Directed Services.

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.
