What Parkinson’s care costs in SUNY Oswego

At the New York median aide wage of $19.05 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,651 a month in wages. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. New York's minimum wage is $17.00 in New York City, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties, $16.00 in the rest of the state (U.S. Department of Labor table, updated July 1, 2026).

Before you hire
