Paying for home care in Greensboro, North Carolina

Many seniors and adults living with disabilities look for resources to help with the cost of home care. In many cases, this includes public pay programs offered through Medicaid and Medicare. However, it’s important to note that in most cases, private health insurance will only pay for medically necessary services. This often doesn’t apply to personal care and assistance from an in-home caregiver.

What’s not covered by public health insurance (Medicare and Medicaid) is typically covered through private pay options, such as a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy. Other common private pay options include health savings accounts (HSAs), personal income, funds from the conversion of a life insurance policy, and retirement savings. It’s very common to use a mix of private and public pay options to pay for home care. Additionally, qualifying veterans or their spouses may qualify for benefits that can help pay for home care.

Does Medicare pay for home care in Greensboro?

Yes, Medicare will pay for home care, but only if it’s provided alongside medical care services.[01] Medical services at home must be prescribed by a doctor. Nonmedical support for care recipients, like help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing or dressing may not be covered unless a doctor decides they’re required, too. Home care agencies must also be Medicare-certified for in-home care to be covered.

Qualified seniors can also enroll in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). You can enroll under Medicare or Medicaid, or as someone who is dually eligible.

It’s important to note that seniors or adults with a disability must need a nursing home level of care and live in a PACE service area in order to receive services through the program. Care recipients will need a comprehensive health assessment to determine eligibility, but Guilford County is serviced by PACE of the Triad. You can review specific zip codes serviced in the PACE programs spreadsheet. Once enrolled, they can receive home care through the program.

Does Medicaid pay for home care in Greensboro?

Yes, North Carolina Medicaid can help pay for the cost of home care through the Personal Care Services (PCS) program. PCS helps people who need assistance with the following activities of daily living (ADLs):[02]

  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Eating
  • Mobility
  • Toileting

To be eligible for PCS, an individual must complete an assessment conducted through North Carolina Medicaid and meet all other Medicaid eligibility requirements. Individuals must have either a cognitive impairment, disability, or medical condition and need help in one of the following three ways:[02]

  • Hands-on assistance with three of the five ADLs listed above
  • Assistance with two ADLs, with one of the two needing more extensive assistance
  • Assistance with two ADLS, with one of the two requiring the highest level of assistance possible

Adults living with an intellectual or developmental disability can apply for the North Carolina Innovations Waiver, which enables them to receive care services in their home or community. It helps eligible individuals remain in the home or community of their choice instead of an institutional setting. Services are provided through a local management entity (LME) or managed care organization (MCO).

To be eligible, you must qualify for an intermediate care facility, but want to receive services in your private home instead. To apply, you must already be enrolled in North Carolina Medicaid. Your LME or MCO can help you seek services or get on the waiting list for this waiver.

You can apply for North Carolina Medicaid online.

Where do I get information about veterans benefits in Greensboro?

Veterans or their spouses may be eligible for benefits that can help cover the cost of home care. Many veterans, however, may not realize all they’re eligible for, or may find the application process too complicated or lengthy. It’s best to consult with a benefits counselor, as they can help you or your loved one apply for every benefit they qualify for.

Counselors can also help with an appeal, if necessary. You can find a benefits counselor through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as well as veterans service organizations (VSOs). The nearest VA office is in Winston-Salem, but Greensboro has several local VSOs that can help.

The following organizations can provide benefits assistance in Greensboro and nearby cities:

How to choose the right Greensboro home care agency

Choosing an in-home caregiver can be a difficult decision. It’s helpful to know what to look for in a home care agency as you review your local options. You’ll want to know not only what North Carolina requires for a home care agency to be licensed, but how each agency hires caregivers, and what to ask about the costs of care.

Most importantly, you should understand your loved one’s care needs. While many may be looking for simple, nonmedical support at home, others may need medical care or skilled nursing. The listings on this page offer a broad range of these services offered by local Greensboro home care agencies. Speak with your loved one’s doctor or social worker to ensure you understand any medical needs especially, that way you can select the home care agency that can meet their needs.

Licensure and accreditation

North Carolina requires home care agencies to be licensed through the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Services Regulation. For licensing purposes, home care agencies offering nonmedical services are referred to as home assistance services providers. To be licensed, home assistance services providers must do the following:[03]

  • Get and keep liability insurance.
  • Make it clear to clients that they don’t provide at-home medical services.
  • Conduct background checks on their employees.
  • Ensure that all employees have a driver’s license and clean driving record.
  • Ensure that provided services are given safely and appropriately.
  • State their compliance with all of the above on an annual basis.

Once licensed, home care agencies must be inspected at least once every three years to ensure compliance. Inspections are unannounced.[04]

While not required, many home care agencies seek accreditation. This shows that they hold themselves to a higher standard of care. Common accreditation programs for home care agencies in Greensboro include the following:

  • Accreditation Commission for Health Care
  • The Community Health Accreditation Program
  • The Joint Commission

You can review all home care agencies on the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation’s facility listings page. You can see all licensed home care agencies by downloading the PDF or spreadsheet. They’re organized by county, and many include a list of provided services that can help you narrow your selection.

Hiring practices

Each home care agency will likely have its own requirements and standards when hiring caregivers on their staff. However, North Carolina does have requirements that all in-home caregivers need to meet. This includes completing North Carolina’s home care aide specialty training program and being listed on the state’s home care specialty training registry as a Nurse Aide 1.[05]

Once a caregiver takes the necessary training, they’re not required to take an exam, and don’t need to retrain.[06] Home care agencies should check a caregiver’s credentials before hiring them to be on staff. You may want to ask the agencies you’re considering about the continuing education on caregiving that they may provide caregiving staff.

Fees and minimums

Most home care agencies charge for care by the hour. However, each agency may operate a little differently. Ask any Greensboro agencies you’re considering the following questions:

  • Is there an hourly minimum that caregivers need to work during a shift?
  • Do you charge different rates on weekends and evenings?
  • Is there a charge for the initial assessment?
  • Will we need to pay a deposit?
  • Do you have a minimum age in order for seniors to receive care?
