Before you hire an in home care CNA for your senior mother or father, there are a couple of things that you really should know. First dependent on the kind of care you need, you will be able to hire a caregiver thru an independent agency for almost $18-23.00 an hour. The typical hourly rate of pay for an certified Nursing helper in the U.S. Is $18 / hour. In Charlotte, many home care agencies typically charge around $19.00 an hour.

On the other hand, if your senior parent requires specialized health services and the assistance of a Registered Nurse on a regular basis, you will probably look at having to spend $25-40.00 per hour. Either way, finding in-home senior care can be affordable if you are able to find senior care agencies that price their services competitively.

Professional nursing assistants, often known as CNA's are registered and qualified to provide individual care and companion care for your family member. Commonly, CNA's are qualified to engage your elderly family member in activities including board games, scrap booking, watering plants and going for walks. Most home care firms provide additional CNA training for his or her staff with the focus on training advanced senior mental stimulation exercises to maintain your senior active and independent.

Many families opt to hire independent caregivers rather than contracting an agency to help them with their in home care requirements. Independent home caregivers usually charge $9-12.00 an hour. Getting an independent in home caregiver can help to save you cash; however there are some downsides that you ought to be conscious of. Many independent home caregivers don't operate under any type of overall liability policy.

Although the independent caregiver that you choose may not have standard licensing credentials, this does not mean that they are not more than capable of caring for your elder relative. Often, independent caregivers have years of experience caring for a relative and get personal gain out of the meaningful relationship that they are able to develop.
