Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies. (English proverb) Listening to a liar is like drinking warm water. (Native American proverb, tribe unknown) Over a long distance, you learn about the strength of your horse; over a long time, you learn about the character of your friend. (Chinese proverb)
Live-in caregivers cost from $700 to $3000 a week. There are many factors such as what part of the country you live in, what the living accommodations are and what hours the person is required to be on duty. The ability to speak the elder's language is also a factor.
