Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Client requires full assistance. She lives with her daughter who’s going away on business for 4 days. I’m charging her my normal rate of $25/ hr. Does that seem fair?
My husband is a full-time caregiver for his parents, and we set it up officially with an employment contract. In identifying the rate when overnights were included, the contract includes this:
SLEEP TIME EXCLUSION: If the employee is required to be at the worksite for 24 consecutive hours or more, federal law allows an employer to exclude up to 8 hours of sleep time if employer provides adequate sleeping arrangements, employee is able to sleep uninterrupted by work tasks for at least 5 consecutive hours and the employee accepts the arrangement.
Caregiver 🗹 accepts ❑ does not accept a sleep time exclusion.
...once overnights became common, we typically go ahead with the 8-hr exclusion (so he is paid for 15 hours, which is 24 less 8 sleep exclusion and less 1 unpaid break hour). On nights that didn't allow for that much sleep, when there were medical issues and monitoring, the sleep exclusion was reduced or removed.
My inlaws caregiver was originally hired at an hourly rate of 20 bucks for a total of 117 hours per week at this flat rate in 2020. Mil had stage 4 and fil had a couple of strokes. This situation now is more like 80 hours salary based on the hourly rate with her mostly sleeping there to be available to get up when he needs his nighttime diaper change. Oh and by the way she’s had this child that is some relative’s, supposedly, living at the in-laws for five days a week for over a year.
Brina, You are a caregiver? If not, I would not take this on with the primary caregiver out of town. If so, you will be familiar with charges in your area, and those charges are likely set between 25.00 for non-agency to 40.00 for agency care per hour. Ask around among your other caregivers in the area.
I would, if you are doing in home caregiving, get bonded. It is cheap at any cost to have this done to assure/insure for someone doing caregiving in-home while the client's POA is gone. You will need access to emergency numbers of family friends and etc along with doctors, insurance, and etc. And never hesitate in calling EMS in emergencies. Best of luck to you.
Thanks for your input. I am indeed a CG. I wasn’t sure if I should be charging a flat rate for the nights, and bill her hourly for a 8am- 4pm which is my normal schedule for her. Or a flat rate for each 24hr cycle.
