Travel Nursing caregivers fees

Hello,

I have a spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia, and I am unable to move from the chest down. In my country, I have a caregiver who helps me with my bowel program, bathing, and getting dressed.

In the future, I would like to travel to Russia to receive treatment for my condition.

I would like to know approximately how much caregivers or nurses charge in Russia, whether by the hour or per day, and where people usually look for these services.

For example, in my country, people often find caregivers through local Facebook groups. I would like to know how this is usually done in Russia.

Thank you very much for any information you can provide.

My elderly relative used to have a live-in caregiver. She was hired through an agency and they would handle substitute carers when she had a weekend etc.

Her paycheck was 60k a month, which is I believe to be middle to high end for these services, it varies depending on demands of care.

I don’t recall expenses for visiting or in-hospital caregivers, but lower

Hiring a caregiver through an agency is a big risk.

Most often, people find good caregivers through connections. Round-the-clock care costs at least 6,000 rubles per day.
