24-hour Private Live-in:
Monthly Cost
$9k-$11k Month
Single care recipient that lives alone / memory-care / hands-on ADL help / 12-24 hrs respite per week. For couples or a care recipient who lives with someone else, costs will be higher. Please fill out a payroll estimate form for a customized estimate for your specific situation.
Payroll
Payroll includes the live-ins pay, payroll taxes, and a payroll service to handle all of your employer payroll obligations. They can even offer HR support.
Workers Comp
Workers comp insurance is not required in most states for household employees, but it is always recommended for peace of mind. It is based on a % of payroll , and varies by state. The average cost is $208 a month.
Groceries
Generally, live-in positions include all meals. Families may choose to have the live-in do all of the food-shopping, or ask them for a grocery shopping list and take care of it themselves or through a supermarket's home-delivery service.
Respite Coverage (Optional)
All live-ins need time off to recharge. The average is 12+ hours a week. IF the care recipient cant be left alone, and the family can't cover it, then they will likely hire a local home-care agency to cover it. The average cost, based on $34 hour. (12 hrs x $35 x 52 weeks / 12 months)= $1,820
Care Manager (Optional)
Many families hire a care-manager who is local to the care-recipient to assess and monitor the situation. They can advise on local senior-care resources and be your eyes and ears with regular home-visits and reports. They offer an invaluable service especially if you don't live near the care recipient.
In most cases, we can help refer you to a home-care agency for respite, an insurance agent for worker's comp insurance, or a care manager to help oversee the process. Call us at 888-250-2631 to find out more.
