Basic personal care starts at $22/hour, while specialized dementia or Alzheimer's care is around $34/hour.

Question 2

What is the difference between home care and home health care?

Accepted Answer

Home care (also called private duty care or non-medical home care) provides assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, grooming, meal preparation, and companionship. Home health care involves skilled medical services delivered at home by licensed nurses or therapists — typically ordered by a physician. Keep Your Dignity Agency provides non-medical home care services.

Does Medicare cover home care services?

Accepted Answer

Medicare generally does not cover non-medical private home care services like personal care or companion care. However, some long-term care insurance plans, Medicaid waiver programs in Georgia (such as the SOURCE or CCSP waiver), and Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits may help cover costs. We recommend speaking with a benefits counselor to explore all funding options.
