I seriously doubt that.
That’s what this person spent on their grandmother. There’s a huge difference between “wanting to die at home” and “wanting round the clock care at home”.
You can die at home for effectively free.

I have seen it before, back in Spain. It is expensive, but not $13,000 a month. It would not make much sense to pay this much, when nurses themselves make, on average, a small fraction of that.
- nradov 4y agoThe median wage for a Registered Nurse in the US is around $6,400 a month. That's a large fraction of $13,000.
- em500 4y agoMaybe you forgot that you need 3 to 4 nurses to cover a 24*7=168hr week.
- manuelabeledo 4y agoThat’s not how it usually works, but if the author needed to do so, where did she find three nurses in NYC at $13,000 a month? That’s barely $15/hour.
