What live-in care costs in Hawaiian Ocean View

Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $18.32 an hour (the Hawaii median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $3,969 a month (103% of the $3,867 monthly median income of Hawaiian Ocean View households headed by someone 65+). Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $13,337 a month (345% of the $3,867 monthly median income of Hawaiian Ocean View households headed by someone 65+).
