What is the average cost per hour for a caregiver of the elderly in Indiana?

it depends if you mean a non medical program or a visiting nurse program.\n\nvisiting nurses are only covered by medicare for 90 days after a hospitalization with acute skilled nursing need (changing dressings and bandages, etc)\n\nafter that it jumps to like 25 dollars an hour or so.... same with having a nurses assistant come in to help toilet them, thats like 15 dollars an hour.\n\ntry this... in NY (where i live ) there is a program called Expanded In Home Services for the Elderly (EISEP). there is a huge shift right now towards non institutionalized home care, and these programs are much cheaper than visiting professionals. mostly volunteers who come and assist them with dressing, cooking, and companionship. these services are not covered by Medicare and you can't get the services if you are eligible for Medicaid, but they're mostly state funded and i think the client only has to pay %15 percent of the cost. Again, this is in NY, so I'm not sure about Indiana, go to your State Department of Health Website and browse around under the Office for the Aging (or anything similar to that) and see if you can get the ball rolling.\n\ngood luck

Just call around... Just ask if they use the sliding scale for uninsured people.  I went to one that normally charges $120 an hour but I wasn't working at the time and could only afford $40 and he agreed to see me. So just call around and state your situation and I'm sure people would help you out.

Hi, I have a health care worker that comes ten hours a week. Most in my apartment complex have helpers. Most of our helpers are great. We know that it is hard for workers to understand our needs and we work together with our helpers to make our relationships good. Our aids become like family. The pay in Michigan is $9.00 per hr. Wages depend on agency. Make sure the agency is good to their workers. My agency is harsh on workers and they are supposed to be the best. The workers are not treated fairly. Of course, if you start your clients will help you to know what agencies work well with you and your client. Call Social Services, employment agency, hospitals, schools, and even apartment complexes for disabled. Even apartment complexes for retiree's and elderly will give you information. The pay is not much but if you are considerate and love people, you will do this job. You will not find more loving and understanding individuals as in disabled complexes. Not V A, but complexes that have disabled.

Definitely speak with your Doctor's office because there are many agencies available to seniors for medical equipment.  You could also contact Department of the Aging.

Anywhere between $9 and $18 an hour, depending on where you work. If you are willing to do emergency room work then you can make $18/hr easily. I live in Fayetteville.

Not really knowing her exact condition-bedridden, wheel chair, IV's, injections required,and etc.-it is almost impossible to answer accurately.\n\nTalk to the Head of Nursing at the nursing home where she resides to see if she needs an RN, LPN, TNA, or just a care-giver to free you up a bit. Depending on the length of the stay, you may be able to find some of the staff that would travel with you on their days off. The majority of nursing home staff would jump at the opportunity to travel and be paid also. They also will be your connection to other trained personnel in the event none of them are available. \n\nI suggest the staff from the nursing home she resides at for a reason. In any case, and especially if she has any degree of dementia, change is unsettling at best and quite often terrifying to the aged. By having someone familiar to her along for the ride she would be more content.\n\nIn the event that she requires minimal care, your local hospitals should have a list of "sitters" which would fill the bill.

On the average, approximately $23.00 per hour.  A lot has to do with the area you are located in and if it is in a hospital setting.  I hope that this helps you!

Medicare questions can be confusing! Your grandfather is very lucky to have you !  Bless him and you!\n\nPlease call your local Area Agency on Aging--these groups are one of the best kept secrets around for older Americans and their families who are seeking information on Medicare  and caregiving questions like yours. Besides knowing about Medicare and community services available from Medicaid, these Agencies often have programs to help support caregivers. When you call, ask about the National Family Caregivers Support Program. Let them know you are a caregiver in need of some help right now.\n\nThere is an Area Agency on Aging where you live--since this is a national network. These groups aren't selling anything! The staff there will visit with you and guide you to information you need to answer your questions. Since they talk with seniors every day--and answer lots of questions--they will know the "scoop" on the services available that might help you where you live. \n\nYou can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the Area Agency on Aging serving you. I'm confident that you will most likely find the people there friendly and very helpful.\n\nIf you do contact your local Area Agency on Aging and like the help that they give you and your grandfather, let your local county officials and your folks in Congress know. Area Agencies on Aging don't have big budgets --their funding comes from the Older Americans Act which hasn't seen increases in years! \n\nHope this helps! Good luck and best wishes

About 6.50/hr.  That was in Freeport, IL.  But you might make more depending on cost of living.  NOt by much though.  I'd bet you'd stay under $7.
