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

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

I can’t answer your question but… a few years ago I remember a story where there was an elderly lady who spent all her time on cruise ships as it turned out to be no more expensive than going to a care home and had a similar level of services. (I think this was either the UK or Canada but don’t quote me on that.)
