Help! I am an only child taking care of my 86 year old Dad in my home. My Mom is in a local nursing home and I am unable to spend as much time with her as I'd like. I work full time outside my home and have children and a husband who need my attentions as well. As a result, I've decided to pay someone to become a companion to Mom and visit her 1-2 times per week when I am unable to. Can anyone shed some light on the going hourly rate for this non-medical service I'm hoping to find?
