Cost

What Parkinson’s care costs in Maricopa

At the Arizona median aide wage of $17.51 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,518 a month in wages, which is 25% of the $5,995 monthly median income of Maricopa households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. Arizona's minimum wage is $15.15 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 ALTCS family caregiver rules: how to get paid to care for a family member in Arizona.

Before you hire

What to know before hiring a caregiver experienced with Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s disease affects more than 1.1 million people in the U.S., and nearly 90,000 are diagnosed each year, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation. Its Helpline, 1-800-473-4636, answers questions from people with Parkinson’s and their families.

Questions worth asking: Have you cared for someone with Parkinson’s? What helped most? How do you keep medication reminders exactly on time? How do you help someone who freezes while walking? More in our parkinson’s care guide.

CaregiverConnect does not run background checks. Check identity, references and any certification yourself before anyone starts. The Safety Center explains how.
