Home Care Assistance

COMMUNITY RESOURCES

Home Care Assistance

Many people would prefer to stay in their own homes and hire in-home helpers rather than move to an assisted living facility or nursing home.
Medicaid and Long-Term Care Insurance may pay for some of these services. Medicare only pays for medical care.
CMAP does not match private care providers with families.​

There are various levels of home care:

Companions are paid to help and sometimes live in your home. They can provide meal preparation, housekeeping, shopping, transportation, and laundry. They do no hands-on care and are not regulated. Companions can be found through home care agencies or privately.

Home health aides are trained, and certified and work under the supervision of a registered nurse. They help with personal care, including dressing, personal hygiene, and ambulation. Certified Home Health Aides (CHHA) are found primarily through home care agencies.

Visiting Nurses are licensed nurses (RN or LPN) who can dispense medication and do follow-up medical care such as wound dressing and removal of stitches. Other skilled providers who may visit at home are physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

Medicare-certified agencies are both licensed and certified at the highest level. They provide Medicare- reimbursed skilled medical nursing and rehabilitation in the home for people who are unable to leave home to receive these services. Services are short-term and intermittent.
