Cost

What live-in care costs in Greenbrier

Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $13.30 an hour (the Arkansas median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $2,882 a month (125% of the $2,308 monthly median income of Greenbrier households headed by someone 65+). Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $9,682 a month (420% of the $2,308 monthly median income of Greenbrier households headed by someone 65+). Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both. Arkansas'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.
