How wealthy are those elderly people who hire someone to be with them at all times, instead of moving into a nursing home? (self.nostupidquestions)

I guess I don't care how wealthy they are, my question is how much would it cost to hire someone to be your caretaker 24/7 and go with you everywhere you want to go like the grocery store etc

In my part of the globe it's about 350 USD a month for a full time live in caretaker, plus room and board.

Eh, shit pay for some countries but it can be seen as reverse rent if you can supplement it with a part time work from home job.

I might actually consider it for myself to go and see the world and make elderly acquaintances at the same time.
