How to pay for home care in Annapolis

Families in Annapolis use a mix of private funds, insurance, and public benefits to pay for in-home care.

Private pay options

Common private pay sources include:

  • Personal savings and income. Many families use Social Security benefits, pensions, and retirement accounts.
  • Long-term care insurance. Policies may cover some or all home care expenses, depending on eligibility and service type.
  • Life insurance. Certain life insurance policies can be sold or repurposed to fund care.
  • Home equity. Reverse mortgages and home equity loans may offer additional financial flexibility.

Medicare

Medicare covers certain home health services when prescribed by a doctor and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. These may include:[03]

  • Skilled nursing care
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
  • Medical supplies and durable medical equipment

Medicare generally won’t cover personal care services such as help with dressing or meal prep unless they’re part of a broader care plan that includes skilled nursing care. Medicare won’t cover long-term care either.

Medicare resources in Annapolis

For local help with Medicare questions and enrollment, families can contact the:

For general information and assistance with Medicare, visit Medicare.gov.

For eligible seniors in Annapolis, Maryland’s Medicaid program offers in-home support through several waiver programs. These include the Community Personal Assistance Services Program (CPAS), Community First Choice (CFC), and the Community Options Waiver, which can help cover the cost of: [04]

  • Personal assistance services
  • Homemaker and chore services
  • Nurse monitoring
  • Respite care
  • Medical equipment and supplies

Medicaid resources in Annapolis, MD

VA benefits

Eligible veterans and their surviving spouses in Annapolis may qualify for these veterans benefit programs that can be used to help cover the cost of home care:

  • Aid and Attendance (A&A). The Aid and Attendance benefit provides additional monthly payments to eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses who receive a VA pension and require assistance with daily activities.[05] These funds can be used to pay for in-home care services. To apply, visit VA.gov to download Form 21-2680. The completed form can be uploaded online, mailed in, or submitted in person at the nearest regional benefit office in Baltimore.
  • Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care. This program offers trained professionals to assist veterans with personal care needs, allowing them to remain in their homes. Services include help with activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Eligibility is determined by a VA health care provider, and services are coordinated through the local VA medical center. To apply, contact a VA social worker in Maryland for next steps.[06]
  • Veteran Directed Care (VDC). The VDC program allows eligible veterans to manage their own care services, including hiring personal care aides. This self-directed approach provides flexibility in choosing caregivers and tailoring services to individual needs. Enrollment is coordinated through the local VA medical center’s social work department.​ To access the program, reach out to your loved one’s VA social worker.[07]

Request detailed pricing information
