Most home care services are paid out-of-pocket by the client, by private long term care insurance or through State Medicaid program. If you are considering in-home care but are concerned about cost, there are several options that you may not be aware of. Sometimes just a few caregiver visits a week can make the difference between remaining at home safely, and needing to move out of the home. An agency representative should meet the client in their home and conduct a free assessment of the client\u2019s needs. They should be able to determine how many hours of service would be required to meet those needs. Once the number of hours has been determined, financial options can be considered.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Funding Sources for Home Care*<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Medicaid \u2013 State Funded \u2013 For those who meet the medical and financial eligibility criteria, State programs may provide an in home caregiver to assist you with your personal care, homemaker and companion care needs.
