HealthBridge's In-Home Care Blog

Let's say your goal is to save money on senior care.  

And let's say that there are only two in-home senior care companies in the world.  The Red Company charges $20 per hour and has a four hour minimum.  The Green Company charges twice as much per hour, $40, but has no hourly minimum.

You're used to daily senior care, but hey, we're in a recession.  It's time to cut back.  If we assume you'd like to save the most money possible, which would be a better decision:

• To use the Red Company and cut back care to four days a week at the minimum number of hours allowed.  
• To use the Green Company and still have care every day at the minimum allowed.  (virtually making no change!)
