I'd like to know as well, having been paying $13 an hour for caregivers but thinking of moving back home and hiring live-in help. Will not ask them to pay room and board and will buy all groceries, but would be curious to know what someone would need to be paid monthly if housing and meals are taken care of. ROGER

And what is asking too much for them to do? If they work weekdays, when food shopping, is asking them to get groceries for weekend too much? Or when making dinner, adding more for a live-in failmy member too much? As far as cleaning, what's too much? Keeping cupboards and frig cleaned out? Wiping floors off, Things have changed over the years, I need more, but can't afford to pay more. But I've ask for so little over the years, asking for more now is like askig for a lot more, even though it still seems less than other quads probably ask for. I'd like to find out what others pay for live-in help. Not hourly, just monthly.
