Does Medicare or AARP supplement cover any or all of the costs associated with a part time home health aide?

Thank you pstigman for your response. This is helpful information. I have a call in to the dr. for his input as well and hopefully we will all be on the same page.

AARP All 11 standard Medigap policies cover basic benefits, but each has additional benefits that vary according to the plan.

None of the standard Medigap plans cover:

• long-term care to help you bathe, dress, eat or use the bathroom
• vision or dental care
• hearing aids
• eyeglasses
• private-duty nursing
• prescription drugs

However, MEDICARE part A&B will cover PT,OT, RN's if ordered by an MD

Also, any suggestions on how to go about finding a reputable aide?
