Can you give me a guideline of how much a part time caregiver would cost?

My father in law is still mobile and functional, but is not able to care for himself and live alone. How much can I expect to pay for a part-time care-giver and also then for a full time one?

Thank you so much, I have absolutely no idea of where to start

Minimum wage levels are often higher in western states than in the economically weaker states East Germany. Caregivers, for example, earn nine euros an hour in the west but only eight euros in the east of Germany.

This really varies by location and whether you are paying a companion or someone with some qualifications. Google "home health care for the elderly" and your town or county. You will the name of some agencies. Call Visiting nurse service and see if they have recommendations. And call his doctor to find out if doctor will order some help, which should result in some medicare coverage.
