No verified per-hour rate for Milwaukee specifically was found in this research -- CareScout publishes only a statewide Wisconsin full-time-equivalent monthly median ($6,864/month for homemaker services, $7,245/month for a home health aide), not an hourly figure or a Milwaukee-specific number.
More detail
Because the only verified figures are monthly full-time-equivalent statewide medians, they don't translate cleanly into a per-hour rate without knowing how many weekly hours CareScout's methodology assumed -- so resist the temptation to divide the monthly figure by a guessed number of hours and treat the result as verified. The only reliable way to get an actual hourly rate for your family's situation is to ask Milwaukee-area agencies directly, since rates vary by agency, by the level of care needed, and by whether care is scheduled during standard daytime hours or overnight/weekend hours that often carry a premium.
