Richard,
American time use survey has such data, condensed in Dollar Value of a Day and valued by age, gender, employment status, marital status, spousal work status and age of youngest child. Takes some digging and analysis but data is there for you to apply your clinical judgment to your case and geographically specific valuation.

Hi all. I finally have a question to post. Does anyone have a sense of an 'annual allowance for recreational activities' at home for a 45 year old woman with a brain injury who can access a computer for games and has a gym membership with a trainer used 3-4 times a week but requires 24/7 supervision for safety. RT therapists defer to family - who have no ideas.
All thoughts gratefully received. Thank you for your time. -Rich
