are dealing with memory loss or Alzheimer's disease. Many clients have
a number of conditions which together, make the everyday activities
of life difficult.
The following links will provide you with additional information on
finding the right home care solution.
How is Care Paid For?
Reimbursement for our services may come from a number of sources:
- Private/Family Pay
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Automobile Insurance
- Worker's Compensation Insurance
- Health Savings/Flexible Savings Account Funds
- Reverse Mortgage Funds
Will Insurance Pay for Elder
Home Care?
Many long-term care insurance, worker’s compensation, and automobile
insurance policies will reimburse for these kinds of services. Additionally,
funds from mortgage lines of credit (Reverse Mortgages), Health Savings
Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts are sometimes used to pay for
home care.
Right at Home has preferred relationships with many such companies.
We will help you and your family through every step of the often confusing
process involved with determining what a policy will actually cover,
and provide the documentation your insurance company requests.
Many other local or state funded sources are also available to help.
We can help you find them. Contact us for more information and help in
determining coverage. To find a provider in your area, use our Local
Caregiver Search tool.
How To Set Up In Home Care
The first step is to contact a local

fully discuss care needs. There is no obligation, and it provides a forum
for us to fully explore the care needs for your family member or loved

any additional questions you have for us, and help with the important
care decisions which are faced by the family with a loved one in need.
