Would it be cheaper just to hire someone to be a full time, live in caretaker for them?

  My partner does at-home one-on-one care for people with dementia. No degree. No qualifications other than she really cares and is amazing at it. $25 an hour cash (no taxes). 24-hour care, that comes out to over $18k per month.

    Not judging here, but that’s some serious consequence tax fraud if caught.

    Somehow I think if the standard salary for this kind of work is 50k/year (~4k/mo), it shouldn’t be too hard to find people willing to do it for double that (8k/mo) especially if it means living rent free.

  If you need 24/7 coverage, that's a job for 4 people. And you need someone to coordinate and hire (probably a service).
