What live-in care costs in Roseburg North

Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage.

Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $15,543 a month (341% of the $4,559 monthly median income of Roseburg North households headed by someone 65+). Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both.
