At $16.90 an hour (the California minimum; the May 2025 median aide wage, $16.50, is below it), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $3,662 a month. Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $12,303 a month. Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both.
