One thing inevitable in life is aging, and as we age we begin to make plans on how to live comfortably in our old age. The older people become, the less capable they are of taking care of themselves, and they eventually must fall back on their family and friends to take care of them. They begin to need help for virtually all of their everyday tasks. That’s why we have come up with the perfect home care services for your senior citizens who need caregivers. Caregivers Simi Valley by Your Direct Health Care is a special health care agency that caters for the well being of both senior citizens and disabled elders. For many years now, we have offered dedicated caregiver services in areas like Los Angeles, Orange County, Santa Clarita Valley, Ventura County, and San Fernando Valley.

Caregivers Simi Valley CACOST FOR CAREGIVER SERVICES

Perhaps one of the most often questions we are asked is what is the cost for senior home caregiver services. The cost for caregivers 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 that 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. So 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 hrs = $ 150 dollars

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 hour Live In  vs $ 700 dollars if you are paying $ 25 dollars per hour for two 12 hour 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.

Please not that all major US holidays are overtime. Holidays as Dec 25th, New Years, etc. If you would like a full list of what holidays require overtime call us at 1-877-264-0896
