台灣的照護費用，是美國的一小部分In Taiwan, care costs a fraction of US prices
在美國，請一位 RN 等級的私人看護一天動輒數百美元，安養機構一個月更可能上萬美元。台灣提供的是同等級的持牌護理師照護，但費用完全不同：阿爾瑪的 24 小時護理師照護是 NT$12,600（約 US$390）一天，且收費固定、沒有仲介費。這不是品質的妥協，而是制度與生活成本的差異。In the US, an RN-level private nurse runs hundreds of dollars a day, and a nursing home can cost tens of thousands a month. Taiwan offers care from equally licensed nurses at an entirely different price point: Alma's 24-hour nursing care is NT$12,600 (≈US$390) a day, fixed, with no agency fees. This isn't a compromise on quality — it's the difference in systems and cost of living.
把台灣與美國的照護費用放在一起看Taiwan vs US care costs, side by side
美國的私人專責護理（private-duty RN）每小時常見 US$35–US$60，換算 24 小時即 US$840 起跳；安養機構（nursing home）每月中位數約 US$9,000–US$12,000。台灣阿爾瑪的同等持牌護理師照護費用如下，皆以新台幣計價，固定透明。US private-duty RN care commonly runs US$35–US$60 an hour — US$840+ for 24 hours — and the median nursing home costs roughly US$9,000–US$12,000 a month. Alma's equally licensed nursing care in Taiwan is priced as follows, all billed in NT$, fixed and transparent.
- 日班（08:00–20:00）：NT$6,000，約 US$185Day (08:00–20:00): NT$6,000, ≈US$185
- 夜班（20:00–08:00）：NT$6,600，約 US$205Night (20:00–08:00): NT$6,600, ≈US$205

同樣是持牌護理師，差別在制度而非品質Same licensed nurses — the gap is the system, not the standard
阿爾瑪派出的每一位都是台灣國家考試合格的護理師（特別護士），具備醫院臨床經驗，能執行傷口換藥、鼻胃管、給藥等醫療性照護。台灣較低的費用來自整體醫療制度與生活成本，而非照護人員資格的降低。Every Alma nurse passed Taiwan's national licensing exam (a special nurse), with hospital clinical experience, able to perform wound care, NG tubes, and medication administration. Taiwan's lower costs come from its healthcare system and cost of living — not from any drop in caregiver qualifications.
對台美家庭而言，這代表同樣一筆預算，在台灣能換到一對一、由真正的護理師全程負責的照護；對考慮來台就醫的美國民眾而言，則是用遠低的費用得到同等水準的術後與居家照護。For Taiwanese-American families, the same budget buys one-on-one care delivered by a genuine nurse from start to finish. For Americans considering treatment in Taiwan, it means equivalent post-surgery and home care at a far lower price.

常見問題Frequently asked questions
為什麼台灣的護理照護比美國便宜這麼多？Why is nursing care in Taiwan so much cheaper than in the US?
主要原因是醫療制度與整體生活成本的差異，而不是照護品質。台灣的全民健保壓低了整體醫療成本，居家護理的人事與營運成本也低於美國。阿爾瑪派出的仍是領有國家執照的護理師，資格與美國 RN 相當。Mainly the healthcare system and overall cost of living, not the quality of care. Taiwan's national health insurance keeps overall medical costs low, and home-nursing labor and operating costs are lower than in the US. Alma still sends nationally licensed nurses, comparable to a US RN.
US$390 一天的 24 小時照護，包含哪些內容？What's included in 24-hour care at US$390 a day?
包含一位持牌護理師全天候一對一的照護：日常生活協助、醫療性照護（如傷口換藥、鼻胃管、給藥）、用藥與生命徵象監測，以及向您回報狀況。費用固定，沒有仲介費或隱藏收費。A licensed nurse providing round-the-clock one-on-one care: assistance with daily living, medical care (wound dressing, NG tubes, medication), medication and vital-sign monitoring, and updates to you. The price is fixed, with no agency fees or hidden charges.
費用以美元還是新台幣計算？Are fees in US dollars or NT dollars?
