Cost

What live-in care costs in Indian 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 (37% of the $10,184 monthly median income of Indian 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 (125% of the $10,184 monthly median income of Indian 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.
