Home Care
Home care provides elderly people with health care and personal assistance in the privacy of their own home. Nurses, home health aides or physical therapists visit the home to provide health care, assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, taking medications, etc. Home care can be either medical or non-medical, and services are available day or night. The cost of home care varies by the provider and the type of services you are looking for. Some home health care might be covered by Medicare, Medicaid or Medigap. However, private insurance, long-term care insurance or funds from the elder or a family member are the most common payment methods.
