As a private pay homecare agency, Visiting Angels works in families in Adrian, Brooklyn, Jackson and surrounding areas in South Central Michigan to finance elder care services

Over the past few years, homecare services have become the preferred alternative to long-term care facilities and assisted living communities. Older adults can now get high-quality senior care at affordable rates directly at home and remain independent for longer without having to relocate.

If you are considering working with a professional care agency in the near future, you probably have many questions about the process. One of the most common concerns is about the cost of professional senior care services.

At Visiting Angels South Central Michigan, we accept private pay methods. What this means is that in almost every case, clients pay for the provided elder care services privately, out of pocket. Nonetheless, there are certain options your loved one may be eligible for that may help cover the costs of homecare.

Veterans Benefits

As a veteran owned and operated agency, Visiting Angels South Central Michigan is proud to be an approved provider for Home Health Aide (HHA) and Respite visits for all seniors who are eligible to receive benefits from the Veterans Administration (VA). HHA visits are designed to help seniors with daily activities required to maintain an independent life at home whereas Respite visits are geared toward relieving the family caregiver over short periods of time.

If your loved one is a veteran or the spouse of a veteran, make sure to check their eligibility requirements with your local VA office.

Long-Term Care Insurance

As most regular health and medical insurance plans do not provide coverage for long-term homecare services, sometimes families opt for a specific insurance policy to help cover the costs of care for their loved ones – it is called long-term care insurance. This kind of policy is usually taken out years earlier as a means of saving for future elder care needs.

Out of Pocket

Older adults can pay for their services privately when they do not have long-term care insurance and are not eligible for veterans benefits. Families of such seniors often make arrangements to pay directly from their income or saving accounts or choose to share expenses.
