Cost

What stroke recovery support costs in De Leon Springs

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. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. Florida's minimum wage rose to $15.00 an hour on September 30, 2026, under Article X, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution.
