With a severely impaired person (government subsidizes up to 90 hours per month), nine hours of service per day would mean that the person pays NT $ 21,060 per month out of pocket. The out-of-pocket expenses of the preceding paragraph differ little from the wages paid to a foreign caregiver, but the latter is on call 24 hours a day, and can even be asked to take care of other household matters.
拿上述自付費用和支付外籍看護每月二萬多元相比，價格相去不遠，但外籍看護卻是 24 小時待命，甚至可以要求打理其他家務，衡量之下，優劣立判。
