What Parkinson’s care costs in East Providence
At the Rhode Island median aide wage of $21.00 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,820 a month in wages, which is 55% of the $3,297 monthly median income of East Providence households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. Rhode Island's minimum wage is $16.00 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.
