What Parkinson’s care costs in South Lyon
At the Michigan median aide wage of $16.83 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,459 a month in wages, which is 32% of the $4,490 monthly median income of South Lyon households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower.
