Cost

What stroke recovery support costs in Tillamook

At the Oregon median aide wage of $21.35 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,850 a month in wages, which is 49% of the $3,771 monthly median income of Tillamook households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. Oregon's minimum wage is $16.80 in the Portland metro area, $15.55 in the standard state rate, $14.55 in non-urban counties (U.S. Department of Labor table, updated July 1, 2026).

Hiring directly, you agree the rate with the caregiver and usually become the household employer (U.S. Department of Labor rules). Some families qualify for programs that pay for care at home; see Medicaid programs for family caregivers: who can be paid, and the rules in 12 states.
