Estimate inputs

Count supervision time too. If your loved one cannot safely be left alone, that time is part of the workload even if you are not actively doing a task.

Assumptions

  • This is a workload planner, not a clinical assessment.
  • Escalate if safety, wandering, falls, medication errors, or caregiver burnout are present.

Care-cost planning boundaries

Care planning should compare settings, family workload, public benefits, tax/payroll obligations, safety, and respite. It should not promise eligibility or replace medical, legal, immigration, tax, or benefits advice.

  • Medicare generally does not cover custodial nursing home care when custodial care is the only care needed.
  • Hiring a household caregiver can create wage, overtime, Form I-9, payroll tax, and Schedule H obligations.
  • Bringing a foreign caregiver is not a simple cost-saving shortcut. Lawful paths are limited and fact-specific.
