For the second line, y = â2x + 3, the slope was m = â2, a negative number. The graph looked like this: Notice how the line, as we move from left to right along the x-axis, is edging downward toward the bottom of the drawing; technically, the line is a decreasing line. And... the slope was negative.
Applying this hourly rate of $20 for a caregiver means that home care costs about $4900 per month, which consists of 8 hours daily / 7 days a week. Following along this line of reasoning, the cost of home care is $1400 more than assisted living.or example, you can hire a caregiver during a regular 40-hour work week, and your monthly cost will be about $3500 (the same as assisted living). Home care costs are comparable to assisted living costs when you can prioritize caregiver hours in terms of duration and frequency.
Most assisted living residences charge a monthly fee. There may be additional costs for special services. Monthly fees range from $2,250 to $5,000 depending on the level of care and accommodations provided. Assisted living is typically paid for by the resident or the family.
