What live-in care costs in Tuba City
Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $17.51 an hour (the Arizona median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $3,794 a month (74% of the $5,107 monthly median income of Tuba City households headed by someone 65+). Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $12,747 a month (250% of the $5,107 monthly median income of Tuba City households headed by someone 65+).

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 ALTCS family caregiver rules: how to get paid to care for a family member in Arizona.
