How to pay for home care in Bel Air

Families in Bel Air commonly use a mix of private funds, insurance, and public benefits to cover home care costs.

Private pay options

Many families rely on the following to pay for care:

  • Savings and retirement income. Social Security, pensions, and investment accounts are commonly used.
  • Long-term care insurance. These plans often reimburse some or all home care costs.
  • Life insurance. Some policies can be sold or converted into care funding.
  • Home equity. Reverse mortgages or home equity loans may provide extra resources for care.

Medicare

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

Medicare won’t pay for personal care or homemaker services if they’re the only type of support that’s needed.

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]

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]
