Paying for in-home elderly care in Orlando, Florida

Many Orlando residents look into private and public health insurance to see what it will cover before paying out of pocket for elder care costs. Coverage for home care services usually depends on the insurance provider. For instance, most health insurance options only cover nonmedical home care services if they’re provided with medically necessary health services. Our Orlando listings include home care agencies that provide nonmedical care, medical care, or both.

If you explore other options, such as private health insurance or long-term care insurance, be sure to check with your provider to see what senior care services are covered. Once you know what your specific insurance will or won’t cover, you can use private funds from retirement savings, pensions, or health savings accounts (HSAs) to cover any extra home care costs. Eligible veterans and their spouses can also turn to Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits to help pay for home care services.

Does Medicare pay for home care for seniors in Orlando?

Yes, Medicare pays for short-term home care in Orlando as long as the services are provided by a Medicare-certified agency as part of a medical care plan prescribed by a doctor. Medicare may not cover nonmedical home care services, such as support with daily tasks and housekeeping, on their own.

Does Medicaid pay for home care for seniors in Orlando?

Yes, Florida’s Medicaid program, Statewide Medicaid Managed Care, pays for medically necessary skilled nursing home care as well as additional nonmedical home care as recommended by a doctor. There are two plans for people who receive Medicaid in Florida:[01,02]

  • The Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) plan covers medications, doctor visits, and medically necessary home care services. Examples of these medically necessary home care services include medication administration, health monitoring, and skilled nursing care.
  • The Long-Term Care (LTC) plan is a Medicaid waiver program that helps cover in-home care services. To be eligible for this plan, people must be at least 65 years old and require a nursing home level of care. Those between the ages of 18 and 64 may also be eligible if they have a disability.

Where do I get information about veterans benefits in Orlando?

Orlando veterans and their spouses may be eligible for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits that can help them pay for senior care services like home care. Because the benefits application process can be daunting and difficult to understand, it’s a good idea to take advantage of local benefit counseling resources. We recommend contacting the Orange County Veterans Services Office, which serves Orlando residents, to get started. Call 407-836-8990 or visit them at the address below.

Orange County Veterans Services
2100 E. Michigan St.
Orlando, FL 32806

The Orange County Veterans Services Office offers benefits counseling and referrals to the most helpful veterans service organizations (VSOs) for your situation. VSOs train officers to assist veterans with the benefits application process. If you’d like to work with a specific VSO, take a look at the VSO searches below to find locations near you:

What other elderly care services in Orlando help seniors age in place?

Orlando offers many services to help elderly residents maintain their independence and live at home longer. City resources include nutrition classes, senior center activities, insurance assistance, and other senior services. Start by browsing the Orange County Guide to Senior Services to find a range of resources, including fitness programs and educational classes.

The following resources offer additional support for seniors who wish to age in place:

  • The Orange County Commission on Aging hosts educational classes and health fairs. It also offers monthly newsletters to keep seniors connected to local services.
  • The Senior Resource Alliance is Orlando’s Aging and Disability Resource Center, and it operates under Elder Affairs Florida. It offers meal assistance, nutrition programs, assistance with home energy bills, and Medicare assistance. Seniors can call the center’s toll-free elder helpline at 1-800-963-5337.
  • Florida SHINE, or Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders, has trained counselors to help seniors understand their health insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid. They offer individualized support for free.

How to choose the right Orlando home care agency

It’s helpful to understand Orlando’s licensing and accreditation practices, hiring requirements, fees, and minimum care requirements. These factors can make it easier to compare and contrast the top home care listings, make an educated decision, and opt for the agency that’s truly the best fit.

Our Orlando listings include home care agencies that provide nonmedical care, health care services, or both. We encourage people to focus on senior care service options that meet their current needs while also keeping future needs in mind. Some people decide to choose an agency that offers both medical and nonmedical care services, just in case both types of services are ever needed.

Licensure and accreditation

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) requires home care agencies that only provide nonmedical care to register as Homemaker and Companion Services Providers. These agencies can provide housekeeping, companionship, and support with cooking and errands. However, they aren’t able to provide support with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as support with bathing or getting dressed.[03]

Florida home health care agencies provide personal support with ADLs and medical care. These agencies are licensed by the AHCA. In order to receive and maintain a license, each agency must allow inspections from the AHCA and follow additional licensure requirements.[04]

Florida home care agencies can choose to apply for accreditation to demonstrate their commitment to high-quality care and building trust with families. This means they must meet an outside organization’s set of care standards, such as infection control and client assessments.[05] While not a requirement for agencies that only provide homemaker services or support with ADLs, accreditation is a requirement for agencies that provide skilled nursing care and are Medicare- or Medicaid-certified.[06]

Once you’ve narrowed your choices, use Florida’s facility/provider location search to look up individual home care agencies’ licensure information and inspection reports. Follow these directions to search on the portal:

  • Type in the name of the agency you’re interested in.
  • Under “License Status,” select “Active.”
  • Click “Submit Search.”
  • Click on the agency’s name to view their current license information and inspection reports.

Available reports can help you understand how prospective agencies handled complaints or deficiencies in the past.

Hiring practices

All Florida home health care employees must comply with a level two background check. This involves fingerprinting and a criminal record review. Caregivers must also pass a home health aide competency exam after completing their training.[04]

Individual agencies can set their own training guidelines, so be sure to ask what training your prospective agencies ask their employees to complete. Some examples of required training include obtaining a caregiver certification or receiving annual caregiver education.

While there aren’t set training requirements for all home care agencies, Florida agencies that care for people with dementia must complete three hours of dementia-specific training.[04]

Fees and minimums

Each Orlando home care agency may have unique service fees and minimum care requirements. It’s helpful to get this information ahead of time so you can plan accordingly and narrow down your options. As you speak with prospective agencies, consider asking questions from the list below:

  • Does the agency charge for initial client assessments?
  • Do they require an upfront deposit?
  • What’s the minimum client age requirement?
  • Do they require a minimum number of shifts or hours per shift? For example, it’s common for agencies to require at least seven hours of care per week.
