Ways to Pay for Home Care

Non-medical in-home care includes assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) like remembering to take medications, preparing meals, transferring from a chair, toilet or bed, bathing, getting dressed, light housekeeping or transportation to and from doctor’s appointments.

Unfortunately, these services are not typically covered by Medicare or health care plans.

Despite this fact, there are waiver and VA programs available for those who qualify based on income and need level.

Finally, there are a variety of Private Pay options for those who have access to more assets.

Learn more about some of these options below.

Community HealthChoices

If you are 21 or older and have both Medicare and Medicaid, or qualify to receive long-term supports through Medicaid because you need help with everyday personal tasks, you should qualify for coverage for home care through the Community HealthChoices program.
