Cost

What Parkinson’s care costs in Samsula-Spruce Creek

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 18% of the $8,019 monthly median income of Samsula-Spruce Creek households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower.
