COST FOR CAREGIVERS Northridge CA SERVICES

What are the cost for Caregivers Northridge CA ? The cost of caregiver services depends on what the level of care is for the client. Let us say you have needs to care for someone who has dementia and they need basic around the home chores, this level of care would be far different than someone who needs full care who is bed-bound and wears adult diapers. If we pretend you sign up and the hourly rate is $ 25 dollars per hour and you need care for 12 hours per day. So the rate is $ 25 dollars but by CA law anything over 8 hours becomes overtime or 1.5x the normal rate. If you are getting 12 hours per day at 5 days per week your cost would break down as follows.

8 hours (x) $ 25.00 dollars = $ 200 dollars

4 Hours at overtime makes the rate $ 25 dollars (x) 1.5x = $ 37.5 ( x) 4 hours = $ 150 dollars

EXAMPLES OF SENIOR CAREGIVER COSTS & 24 HOUR LIVE IN RATES

12 Hour shift cost is 8 hours at $ 200 dollars and 4 hours at $ 150 dollars making total $ 350 dollars per 12 hours.

Now in order to save money, you may be better off getting a 24-hour live-in caregiver. Live-in rates are much less expensive when you hire a live-in caregiver at $ 300 dollars per day that is a difference of $ 300 dollars per 24 hours Life In vs $ 700 dollars if you are paying $ 25 dollars per hour for two 12 hours shifts. The price difference is $ 400 dollars per day. Or $ 2,000.00 dollars per week, which makes your savings $8,000.00 dollars per month or $ 96,000.00 dollars per year.

If a live-in caregiver is not an option for you then you can consider hiring two caregivers for 6 hours each to make your 12-hour shift or one 8 hour caregiver and another part-time caregiver at 4 hours.

6 hours (x) $ 25 dollars = $ 150 dollars ( Caregiver # 1) AND – 6 hours (x) $ 25 dollars = $ 150 dollars ( Caregiver # 2). This would make your cost of a 12-hour shift just $ 300 dollars per day. If you had one person do a 12 hour shift this would be 8 hours (x) $ 25 = $ 200.00 and 4 hours over time would be $ 25.00 dollars (x) 1.5 (Overtime) = $ 37.5 (x) 4 = $ 150.00 dollars. So a 12 hour shift one person costs $ 50 dollars more than two people at six hours.
