It depends where you live if at home caregivers will be less or more than assisted living places. Where I live in DC you would pay a 24/7 caregiver $25 if you were lucky per hour but with an agency it could be $35. That is a lot of money.
We have a neighbor who can hardly walk but he makes do at home with 8 hours of caregiving a day for which he pays nearly $8K a month. Then he has his normal house expenses.
Lets face it if you get to the stage of needing a lot of care it is going to be expensive unless you qualify for Medicaid.
