What Parkinson’s care costs in Olympia Heights
At the Florida median aide wage of $16.25 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,408 a month in wages, which is 43% of the $3,275 monthly median income of Olympia Heights households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower.
