Private Pay/Out of Pocket
Most families pay for in-home care for a loved one out of pocket. This is true of many senior care services, including assisted living. While in-home care is typically more affordable than facility care, costs are determined based on the type of care and the number of hours a senior needs. We recommend that anyone interested in finding out contact our office to discuss what would be included in a custom care plan, and whether personal care, companionship or respite care is needed.
Determining out-of-pocket costs and how to minimize them is best done after considering all your options. To find out more about the cost of care for you or a loved one, please contact our office to discuss your specific situation.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-term care insurance can help pay the costs of care. For seniors that do have long-term care insurance, Comfort Independent Living office can help answer questions about the paperwork needed to start using this specialized type of coverage.
Veterans Administration (VA) Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit
Veterans and their surviving spouses may qualify for VA benefits to cover some of the cost of in-home care. VA programs were designed for those who meet specific financial criteria and demonstrate physical need for in-home care. Contact us to find out more about in-home care and veteran’s benefits.
Medicaid and State Programs
Medicaid, the largest public payor for long-term care, may cover some in-home care services. A Medicaid provider or Comfort Independent Living office can answer questions about in-home care coverage.
Medicare
Medicare does not cover in-home care. In some select areas, Medicare Advantage plans may be available. This varies by state and location, so check your plan for additional details.
