"financial issues are not a challenge as we don't live in America"

This is an odd aside. If you can afford to self fund full time help at home in any country then you are relatively well-off.

The person sounds like they are from the UK, so they don't pay anything. I live in the UK, I look after a relative that has help four times a day...I pay nothing, she pays nothing.

You've concluded that paying nothing is a result of living in the UK, but the UK applies a means test and a purpose test to that help: free is only for people with savings below some threshold or for some medical situations.
