Elder Caregiver Blog in Sierra Vista, Arizona: Home Elder Care Prices

"What are your fees?"

That is often the first question we hear by telephone.? We do not beat around the bush here when you ask for the fees.? My response is to give the caller a price range that depends on the hours used.? Then I will ask what type of services and what amount of services is the caller?contemplating.? From the caller's response I can give him or her a better idea of what the fees will be, as well as offer suggestions for ways to trim the total cost by utilizing services in a more efficient manner.

When I am shopping online, I like to see prices posted.? It annoys me if I cannot find the prices.??I will leave a web site to look for and purchase from?a company that does post its prices.??With that in mind, I am posting our caregiving fees below. ? Feel free to look them over and ask questions.

Let me add that each Comfort Keepers office sets its fees according to its local costs. ? Also, the fees listed here may change at any time, although any fees that you agree to pay are in place for a year from the revision date posted at the bottom of the rate sheet.
