The cost of services will vary based on the specific needs and requirements of each patient. Different types of care, the frequency of visits, and specialized services all contribute to the overall cost. We recommend a personalized consultation to determine the most accurate and tailored care plan for you or your loved one.

If you’re exploring ways to finance in-home care, it’s important to know that a variety of payment methods are accessible depending on your or your family member’s financial standing. Diligent research is key to pinpointing the most economical approach to covering care expenses. Feel free to reach out to us for any queries you may have.

Popular methods to finance care for the elderly encompass:

Self-Funding/Out-of-Pocket Payments – For many, self-funding is the primary means of covering in-home care costs, a practice common across various senior care options, including assisted living. Although in-home care often costs less than institutional care, the overall expenditure is influenced by the kind of services and the number of hours required. For further information on costs and services included in a personalized care package, please get in touch with a local office.

Assessing Out-of-Pocket Expenses – To optimally manage out-of-pocket costs, it’s important to evaluate all available options. For detailed information on the financial aspect of care for you or your loved one, we recommend consulting with a local office about your unique circumstances

Long-Term Care Insurance – If you or your senior family member has long-term care insurance, it can be a helpful resource for financing care costs. For questions about the documentation required to activate this specialized insurance coverage, a nearby office can provide assistance.

Veterans Administration (VA) Aid and Attendance Pension Benefits – Qualifying veterans and their surviving spouses could be eligible for VA benefits, which may subsidize a portion of in-home care expenses. VA programs target individuals who satisfy particular financial requirements and exhibit a tangible need for in-home care. To learn more about these benefits, contact us directly.

Medicaid and State-Sponsored Programs – Medicaid is the leading public funding source for long-term care and may cover certain in-home care services. Consult with a Medicaid provider or a local office for inquiries on coverage specifics.

Medicare – Standard Medicare does not include coverage for in-home care. However, in some regions, Medicare Advantage plans may be an option. Availability differs by state and location, so it’s advisable to check your specific plan for more information.
