What is Private Pay Care?

While health insurance, veterans benefits, or Medicare may cover expenses related to in-home health care - say after surgery, illness, or injury, they usually do not cover non-medical in-home care.

Private pay care is when a family or individual pays for the cost of in-home care. This would include services like meal preparation, senior transportation, hygiene assistance, and respite care for family caregivers.

Private pay home care can be funded in two ways: long-term care insurance and out-of-pocket. 

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance is a type of insurance that covers the cost of care for seniors. It can be applied to resident facilities, as well as in-home care. It is becoming a popular option for paying for in-home care; there are an estimated 7.5 million adults in America with long-term care insurance, according to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI). 

Long-term care insurance policies are usually started while you are middle-aged and don't yet need in-home care. The amount of coverage for long-term care policies will depend on your policy and the amount of home care needed. 

Out-of-Pocket Payment for Home Care

If you do not have long-term care insurance, you may be required to pay for Sarasota in-home care out of pocket. The cost of your care is based on the level of care needed and the hours of care needed each week.
