Cost

What live-in care costs in Sands Point

Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $19.05 an hour (the New York median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $4,128 a month (20% of the $20,833 monthly median income of Sands Point households headed by someone 65+). Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $13,868 a month (67% of the $20,833 monthly median income of Sands Point households headed by someone 65+). Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both. New York's minimum wage is $17.00 in New York City, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties, $16.00 in the rest of the state (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 CDPAP in New York: how to get paid to care for a family member.
