WHO WILL PAY FOR MY LOVED ONE’S IN-HOME HEALTH CARE ASSISTANCE?

Approved Home Care can help you design a home health care plan for your loved one around your budget and needs. We are available around the clock, seven days a week, with no added charges for health condition, weekend, or nightly care.

Medicare does not pay for non-medical care for lengthy visits, nor provide a caregiver for long continued periods of time in the home, Approved Home Care caregivers work around the hours of your home health nurse, who may be paid by Medicare. Nursing visits may be paid by Medicare, while non-medical caregivers for in-home care is not paid by Medicare. Approved Home Care’s caregivers provide non-medical care, whereas Medicare may pay home health agency nurses who take care of your nursing needs. We can answer questions about Medicare coverage and discuss a plan to identify your needs. The home health agency and Approved Home Care can coordinate their schedules to provide you with optimum service and not duplicate each other’s efforts.

Most long-term care policies will pay for Approved Home Care services. If you’re worried about having to move your loved one to an assisted living or nursing facility because of increasing home health care needs, and you have long-term care insurance, call us. Approved Home Care will help you determine if your policy covers in-home care with activities of daily living and help you come up with an affordable solution that will allow your loved one to stay at home and remain independent. We’ll even assist you with the insurance claims and paperwork. Get private care right at home for less than what you’d spend for an assisted living or nursing facility.
