Good question. It really depends on your state’s guidlines, but I can tell you in general they look at what similar in-home care services in your area would charge. But it’s important to note that in most cases, you may need a care contract because the law alot of times presumes that if you provide care as a family member-that you do so without expectation of being compensated. Care contracts are written agreements between you and your loved one outlining what services you will provide and at what cost. These are very complex however so you’ll want to make sure you explore the right way to do it.
