Answers to Questions About Private Pay Home Care
Private pay home care is when you pay for home care out of pocket or with a long-term care policy. It’s an option when you want extra help caring for a loved one or more support after you come home from the hospital than insurance will pay for.
Because we customize your loved one’s care, costs are based on your situation and the services offered. Many people find that private care-at-home costs are typically much lower than fees at residential health care facilities, such as nursing homes and assisted living or memory care facilities. And since you’re paying for private care out of pocket or through a long-term care policy, you’re not limited by what private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare will approve.
Care can often begin within 24 hours, based on your needs and care plan. We’ll work with you to find the right start time for your family.
