What Parkinson’s care costs in Pismo Beach
At the California minimum wage of $16.90 an hour (the May 2025 median aide wage, $16.50, is now below it), 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,465 a month in wages, which is 17% of the $8,518 monthly median income of Pismo Beach households headed by someone 65 or older.
