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.
Again, costs vary by state, but the average monthly cost for an assisted living center in most states is between $1000 and $3000 per month. Monthly costs in Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington D.C. and Wyoming are higher than average, sometimes up to $5000 per month.s you can see, on average, the cost of an assisted living center is about half that of a nursing home facility. For this reason, unless the patient requires a high level of care on a daily basis, an assisted living center will usually be preferable.
