How to pay for home care in Salt Lake City

Families in Salt Lake City typically use a combination of personal funds, insurance, and public programs to cover the cost of home care.

Private pay options

Common private sources of funding include:

  • Savings and retirement income. Families often rely on pensions, Social Security, or retirement accounts.
  • Long-term care insurance. Policies may reimburse some or all home care expenses.
  • Life insurance. Certain policies can be sold or converted into cash for care.
  • Home equity. A reverse mortgage or home equity line of credit (HELOC) can provide extra support.

  • Skilled nursing care
  • Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
  • Some medical equipment and select medical supplies

Medicare won’t cover ongoing nonmedical services such as help with cooking or bathing unless paired with skilled care.

PCS provides up to 60 hours of in-home assistance per month and focuses on activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. [04]

The Aging Waiver and the New Choices Waiver are designed for people who would otherwise require institutional care, and cover services such as personal care, homemaker services, and respite care.[05]

  • Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefit: 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. These funds can be used to pay for in-home care services. To apply, download Form 21-2680. The completed form can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at the regional benefit office in Salt Lake City.[06]

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 Utah for next steps.[07]

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.[08]

Home care laws and regulations in Utah

Home care regulations in Utah ensure that agencies meet professional standards and provide safe, ethical care.

Licensing and accreditation

Utah requires home health agencies and personal care agencies that provide nonmedical services to be licensed by the state’s department of health and human services.[09,10] Agencies must meet staffing qualifications and receive accreditation from groups like Joint Commission or CHAP, particularly if they accept Medicare or Medicaid.

Hiring practices

Licensed home care agencies in Utah must:

  • Train staff. Employees must receive orientation and annual training on topics such as ethics, confidentiality, and client rights.
  • Screen employees for certain health conditions. Agencies must implement health screening policies for employees, including tuberculosis testing within two weeks of hiring.
  • Ensure appropriate training. For example, personal care aides must be at least 18 years old, trained in first aid, and demonstrate competency in all areas of personal care. They must be supervised by a licensed nurse or a certified nursing aide with at least two years of experience.[09]

These measures help ensure safety and quality of care for seniors across the state.

How to choose the right home care agency in Salt Lake City

Request detailed pricing information

Ask agencies for a breakdown of hourly rates, minimum service hours, and any additional charges, such as weekend or holiday care.

Ask about caregiver training and expertise

Find out if caregivers have training in dementia care, mobility assistance, or chronic illness support to meet your loved one’s needs.

Verify licensing and inspection history

Before choosing a provider, check the agency’s licensing and inspection records with Utah DHHS’ search tool. Look for a history of compliance with regulations and any past complaints or enforcement actions.
