Seniors who remain in their own home with a nurturing, supportive environment will continue to be more socially engaged, physically active and achieve a greater state of wellbeing. Our specialized care encircles your loved one with encouragement and security, offering the opportunity to age with dignity in a familiar environment. Home care helps reduce stress by relieving the family of many duties and responsibilities associated with being a full-time caregiver.

The difference between home health and personal home care assistance is the necessity for skilled services. Home health care requires skilled services that would come from a physician’s order. This includes things like registered nurses, physical therapy and occupational therapy.

Personal care assistance involves unskilled services that are typically paid for through private pay (not paid by insurance). These services include help around the house, transportation, bathing and some light meal preparation.

There is coverage available for homecare services. However, every plan is different.
If Medicare is willing to cover a portion of home care services, it is only for a temporary amount of time and the very little coverage is dedicated to non-medical home care services.
If you or a loved one qualifies for Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement or home care coverage, pay very close attention to coverage details. Any services that do not meet their qualifications must be paid out-of-pocket. You should visit the Medicare website or call them at 1-800-MEDICARE to get personally-relevant information.

Pennsylvania offers an innovative Medicaid waiver program that can lessen the financial burden of family caregiving. Through this program, family members may be eligible to get compensated to provide hands-on support to loved ones.

The most common program that pays loved ones for caregiving is a Medicaid option program known as Medicaid Waivers. These Waivers are also referred to Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers, 1915(c) Waivers, or even Section 1115 Waivers.
