What stroke recovery support costs in Lutcher
At the Louisiana median aide wage of $10.83 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $939 a month in wages, which is 38% of the $2,464 monthly median income of Lutcher households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower.
