Compassion Crossing, LLC Sliding Scale Fees

Please note: This sliding fee scale applies to individuals, caregivers, and family members. It does not apply to organizations. Organizations that contract with me for public speaking or staff training are subject to different pricing.

A sliding scale works when we trust each other. I trust families to be honest about their situation. You can trust me to honor your choice without asking for proof. This mutual respect helps our community care for each other during difficult times.

Which Price Level Is Right for You?

I want to help you find the right price level for your situation. Based on what you can afford, here are three options to consider.

Full Price Level: This price reflects the true cost of my services. Choose this level if you own your home or have savings in the bank, can pay for things you want and not just things you need, don’t worry much about paying for food, housing, or medical care, and have financial security and a stable income.

When you pay full price, you help me continue offering lower prices to families who need them.

Middle Price Level: This middle level recognizes that full price might keep some families from getting help. Choose this level if you have a steady income but live paycheck to paycheck, are working to pay off debt or build savings, can afford necessities but worry about unexpected costs, or could pay full price, but it would mean giving up other important things.

If you have family or friends who are willing and able to help, this level may be a good fit. This keeps the sliding scale available to families with no other options.

Lower Price Level: This level exists because I know some families couldn’t get my help without it. Choose this level if you struggle to pay for food, housing, or medical care, live paycheck to paycheck or have significant debt, spend most of your time worrying about basic needs, or have no family or friends who can help financially.

Your payment at this level is just as valuable as a full-price payment. You deserve support during this difficult time.

Notes

  • The fee for Advance Care Planning (ACP) must be paid at the first meeting. Clients in Madison County, Kentucky, receive a 12-month package that includes unlimited on-site meetings (once or twice a month), phone calls, and virtual sessions as needed. This is to make sure you understand the paperwork and can ask follow-up questions during that time. For clients outside Madison County, Kentucky, support also lasts 12 months and is provided through phone calls and virtual sessions as needed.
  • Your prepaid hours act like a balance: you buy a block of hours at a discount, available for use as needed. No time is deducted on days without services. For days with services, there’s a minimum charge of one hour, and any additional time is deducted in 15-minute segments. For example, 30 minutes of work deducts 1 hour, while 1 hour and 10 minutes deducts 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remaining time stays available until used. For instance, an 8-hour block costing $640 is available for $576, saving you $64 and averaging $72 per hour. If you use 2 hours on Day 1, that amount is deducted, leaving 6 hours. Using 30 minutes on Day 2 deducts 1 hour, leaving 5 hours. No deduction occurs on Day 3 without services. If you use 1 hour and 10 minutes on Day 4, 1 hour and 15 minutes are deducted, leaving 3 hours and 45 minutes. Unused time can be refunded at the discounted rate, so you only pay for what you don’t use.

If even the lower price feels out of reach, please reach out anyway. I believe no one should face this journey alone. Schedule a conversation with me, and we’ll work together to find a way to help.
