What overnight care costs in Hampshire
At $18.30 an hour (the Illinois median aide wage), a 10-hour overnight shift three nights a week comes to about $2,379 a month, and every night about $5,551 (108% of the $5,141 monthly median income of Hampshire households headed by someone 65+). Awake and asleep night shifts are often paid differently; agree it in writing. Illinois's minimum wage is $15.00 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 Medicaid programs for family caregivers: who can be paid, and the rules in 12 states.
What to know before hiring a overnight caregiver
Overnight help is usually arranged when the person gets up in the night or the family caregiver is no longer getting enough sleep. Decide first whether you need an awake caregiver, who stays up through the shift, or one who may sleep in the home and is woken when needed; the two are paid differently.
Questions worth asking: Do you stay awake through the shift, or sleep and wake when called? Have you cared for someone with dementia at night? What would you do if my parent fell during the night? More in our overnight caregivers guide.

How much does overnight care cost in Hampshire?
At $18.30 an hour (the Illinois median aide wage), a 10-hour overnight shift three nights a week comes to about $2,379 a month, and every night about $5,551 (108% of the $5,141 monthly median income of Hampshire households headed by someone 65+).

Overnight, live-in or 24-hour care: what is the difference?
Overnight care is a single night shift. A live-in caregiver lives in the home and has protected sleep and break time. 24-hour care uses two or three caregivers in shifts so someone is always awake.
