three days a week

The internet has many in home care agencies to chose from. It was easy to get telephone numbers. In most cases someone would answer the telephone, take the message, and then have someone else call me back. Marie didn't need any nursing care, just someone to keep an eye on her. The average price for that service appeared to me to be about $18.00 per hour. If I needed to get someone three days a week, for 10 hours a day, then the cost, each week, would be $540. While that's a lot of money, I was sure a nursing home would cost more. It just never dawned on me that the insurance company wouldn't pay for it.
