I agree that you are over paying for ADL'S. $30/hr is nurse pay. not CNA.
I live in rural area. Agencys here pay workers $9.50/hour for part time.
Other pays $14/hour.
If I paid $30/hour, there would be a line of people wanting the job.
You should look to hire young people just out of school. I know that
they might not have experience but you could train them. or an elder
person who just wants to help around house.

I agree. $30/hour seems awfully generous even if your cares were
extensive and more complex. Doing just basic ADL'S seems like a
pretty easy gig especially for that money

That is way above the average pay a CNA makes. They should not be
asking for a raise if so I try to find other people. That's just
my opinion. It will be great to hear, what others have to say
from the list. Thank you for asking pertinent questions.

Hello everyone,
A question for all on the list who use private duty CNA/Home
Health Aide Care and pay for it
out of pocket, how much you pay your CNA/Home health aide per
hour? I have two
excellent CIA's and both are complaining that they are not
earning enough. Thing is,
I gave them both raises are a few months ago, from $28.00 to
$3000 an hour. I know
that's not a lot but at the time that's all I could afford but
my financial situation
Changed for the better and now I can afford a little more and
am wondering what a
a good hourly rate is to pay an excellent CNA? Below are my
morning
and evening Care plans:
Morning care plan:
Sponge bath, upper body (no legs or feet) Done in bed, six
days a week, whole body 7 days a week.
Getting dressed (also done in bed) I usually wear nylon
running pants,
no underpants so just involves changing the pants.
Sliding board transfer into power chair.
She makes a breakfast which usually consists of brewed coffee
& microwave pancakes or
waffles done in toaster oven. On Fridays and only Friday
she'll make scrambled eggs
and a toasted English muffin.
3 days a week she'll make a wrap sandwich.
Quite a few little side jobs like checking and opening my
mail, opening any boxes or packages I may receive.
Night time care plan:
Mixing and serving me metamucil.
Getting undressed, 99% of time only involves taking off shirt.
Sliding board transfer into bed.
Range of motion exercises on legs, takes about 10 minutes.
Prepare night snack, usually just 2 apple slices & 2 prunes. The
Moving wheelchair into place by bed (power chair, heavy, not
very easy to move)
Also occasional little side jobs like checking & opening my
mail, opening any boxes or packages I may receive.
Sorry for such long list, just wanted you all to get a good
idea of how much work these girls do. Thanks!
