HOW CAN I PAY FOR HOME HEALTH CARE?

Home care services can be paid privately, i.e. your own funds or funds from a family member; or thru your long term care insurance policy, if you meet their standards for help; or through a variety of public sources, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Veterans’ Administration.

Veterans may be entitled to additional benefits, if housebound or in need of aid and attendance.
