Options to Pay For In-Home Care

Oftentimes, needed care is not planned for until the need is urgent and immediate—and family caregivers are most often the ones developing a long-term care plan. The most surprising and unfortunate realization for many family caregivers is discovering that the care recipient is too rich for most government-funded social programs and not rich enough to pay for full-time, long-term care. So, budgeting for the required care may seem like an uphill battle.

We’re here to share that there are options and resources available to help pay for in-home care, and we can work with you and your family to assist with finding a solution for a particular situation.
