I have had past experience helping to care for my mother and father in law years ago as they aged and became more dependent on others for care. I also cared and helped manage the care of my own parents until their passing. My mother suffered from Alzheimer's and depression, so she required bathing, dressing and meal prep along with handling filling and administering her prescription medications. My father had diabetes and had kidney failure and had dialysis 3x a week until he eventually underwent a kidney transplant and then retained more independence until his passing at age 83. This required filling and administering his medications and meal preparation. Also supervised other in home care employees that the family employed.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
