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.)

In my country it’s free to get a nurse visiting you twice a day when you’re disabled (including old age related disability). You’d also get massive financial aid for a live-in person, but they’d normally be a family member who would get a government salary + possible adaptations to their normal job (eg always working from home).

Hospice is a last resort and it’s incredibly expensive.

This really depends on the country you live in.

Don’t feel discouraged by the Karen above, that should’ve stayed in Reddit alongside their peers. Thoughtful contribution is often verbose, and there’s nothing wrong with it.
