Re: [QUAD-L] Caregivers

I have been following off and an on the subject of caregivers. Here in Georgia there seem to be several options avail, at least in the NW Georgia area. ( Chattanooga TN  is 15 min away) We live on the mountain and there are several people we know that are caregivers (freelance ), they are not nurses and generally do light housework along with any special care a person might need. I have talked to a few of them and on an average they make around 10.00 per hr (nonagency). There is also a few agency's like comfort-keepers that are privately owned companies that deal with in-home care. They do everything similar to assisted living but in your own home. I am not sure what they charge per hour.   Penny
