WE found that these agency franchised services charge about $17-24/hour and while their CNA's are screened and insured by agency, they pay them about $10/hour. The overnight service basically boils down to adult babysitting. You might find someone who does this privately but then you need to do the screening. If you get a medical alert system, make sure you also get a lockbox for storage of front door house key and provide lockbox combination to the security company.
