Cost

What live-in care costs in Fairfield Plantation

Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $14.07 an hour (the Georgia median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $3,049 a month (42% of the $7,215 monthly median income of Fairfield Plantation households headed by someone 65+). Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $10,243 a month (142% of the $7,215 monthly median income of Fairfield Plantation households headed by someone 65+). Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both. Georgia's state rate is lower than the federal one, so employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act pay at least the federal $7.25 an hour (U.S. Department of Labor).

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

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.
