    [quote=”maravilla”]i know two people who recently lost a loved one and both of these families had very good round-the-clock in-home care for a fraction of what it would{ve cost in the States. there are plenty of qualified nurses and nurses aides in CR to do this work. one of my neighbor´s had a registered nurse for $10 an hour, and my other friend was paying about $3.00 an hour for someoneg without a fullblown nursing degree but who could do basic health management duties and personal care. a friend of mine who does this kind of work in the States get $375 for an 8 hour shift.[/quote]

    Thank you! This is what we have worried about in thinking of moving to CR…he is 82 and I am 74, and we know that some time in the not-toodiatant future we will need that kind of care. Good to know it works! Is this true all over CR?
