What does the Area Agency on Aging B-1 in michigan pay?

My fiance became paralyzed with a mrsa infection causing paralysis. I currently get paid from the state through department of human services but they only pay me for 133 hrs./month. This program I guess is for more of a full time thing which for our case it is because with me she can't even go to the bathroom and it's hard for her to function due tothe fact that our apartment is not handicap Accesible. Does anyone have any experience working with this Agency and can anyone tell me what they pay???

Update:

I'm just curious about an hourly rate? She needs almost 24/7 care cause she cannot go to the bathroom without my Aide. 133 hours/month only breaks down to about 4.3 hours a day. I only make $7.50/hour now. I am wondering if I'm eligible for a wage increase. I currently put anywhere from 6.75 to 10.5 hours a day.

    They pay you for the hours you are eligible for. Do you want to be paid 24 hours a day? 133 hours a month is a huge amount compared to what some people are allotted. If she requires that much care,they may suggest she go to a nursing home.
