Ways to Pay for Home Care

This is the question most families come in with and the one that gets answered least often. Here's a plain breakdown of how families in York, Lancaster, and Chester Counties typically pay for home care:

• Private pay: paying out of pocket on an hourly basis. The most flexible option, with no third-party restrictions on scheduling or services.
• Long-term care insurance: many policies cover home care services in full or in part. If your loved one has a long-term care policy, contact your provider to confirm what's covered.
• VA Aid and Attendance: qualifying veterans and surviving spouses may receive monthly benefits that can be applied toward home care costs. Visit our Veterans' Benefits page to learn more about eligibility and how to apply.
• SC Community Choices Medicaid waiver: South Carolina's Community Choices waiver program may cover personal care and homemaker services for eligible seniors through SC Medicaid. Contact the SC Department of Health and Human Services to check eligibility, or ask our team, and we'll point you in the right direction.

What Affects the Cost of Home Care

A few factors go into your final rate:

• Number of hours per week (more hours can lower the effective hourly rate)
• Level of care, whether that's companion care or hands-on personal care
• Schedule, including daytime, evening, overnight, or live-in coverage
• Specialized needs such as dementia or Alzheimer's support
• Whether VA benefits, long-term care insurance, or the SC Medicaid waiver offsets the cost

One of the biggest surprises for families is how home care compares to facility costs. Because you only pay for the hours you use, part-time home care is typically a fraction of what a facility costs each month. That’s a huge benefit that many of our families appreciate.
