Can Medicaid pay for in-home care?

Medicaid funds for home care are limited in some states. Home care is more expensive than facility care. Contact your Medicaid office to find out what is available in your state.

You have to financially and medically qualify. And it varies by state. I suggest that you get accurate answers from a Medicaid Planner in your home state so that there are no surprises due to "assumptions" and inaccurate advice from this global and anonymous forum of non-professionals.

Hi Auntie Cyndie. Yes, Medicaid can cover the cost for in home care services. You'll need to get written approval from your physician to qualify, so it will help to get that process started before you begin the enrollment process. Your physician might even be able to refer you to a great home care agency in your community that can provide you and your husband with home care services.
