We are in the same boat.

My mom and dad are hitting there 90's and still in their house.

I married my lovely wife three years ago and she moved from Portland OR into my home here in sunny SoCal last September.

I work full time and the plan was for her to get a part time job.

My older brother has the POA and he and his wife are local and retired.

We have three part time caregivers (@ $15 hour) however my wife has got sucked into working 20-40 hours a week (@ $15 hour) driving then to med. appts., checking their prescription (a full time job), scheduling the caregivers.

I will divert from going on a rant about how much this is sucking all the life and energy out of my new wife and our new marriage...

So basically to answer your question, not sure what the going rate ion your area is but around here caregivers run $20-$25 HR (my parents are too cheap to pay that so we have hired friends/family for $15 HR)
Assisted care, again check in your area... around here $2600-$6000 a month.
