I've always known Hawaii was expensive but those figures appear a "little" off. I would suggest verifying the amounts on your own. It's tough to believe home health aides make $288,000 a year. good luck

That's for 4 shifts. 3 per weekday and 1 per weekend unless you can find a live in with a substitute that runs about $12,000 a month with you providing food.

I should have been more specific. The $288,000 would be the figure a home health aid makes in Hawaii (monthly payments times 12 months) . A few years ago, my mother-in-law was in a memory care facility for $14,000 a month in New England. $14k a month is a lot less than hiring a home health care aid 24/7 in Hawaii.
