How Do I Pay for Home Care?

Seniors exploring financial options for home care

When you or a loved one needs support at home, one of the biggest questions is: how do I pay for home care? Understanding your payment options can make the process less stressful and help you access the care that fits your needs and budget.

At Homewatch CareGivers of Henderson, we guide families in Southern Nevada through their choices, so you can focus on what matters most — comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

Common Payment Options for Home Care

Private Pay  

Paying out-of-pocket is the most straightforward option. This gives you full control over the type and schedule of care without insurance restrictions. Many families choose private pay for its flexibility and immediacy.

Long-Term Care Insurance 

If you have a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy, it often covers non-medical home care services like personal care, companionship, and assistance with daily tasks. Review your policy or contact your provider to understand your benefits.

Medicare Advantage Plans

Some Medicare Advantage plans offer coverage for certain home care services beyond traditional Medicare. These benefits vary widely, so it’s important to check with your plan or ask your care provider about available options.

Veterans Benefits

If you or your loved one is a veteran, you may qualify for home care services through VA programs such as Homemaker/Home Health Aide or Aid & Attendance. We are an authorized VA provider in Southern Nevada and can help you navigate the process.

Local and State Programs

Programs like Helping Hands of Vegas Valley or the GUIDE Program provide vouchers or respite care support for eligible seniors or people living with dementia. These can help offset costs and offer relief to family caregivers.
