Paying for Care
Clear Answers About Cost, Before You Commit
Home care pricing should never be a mystery. Here are the common ways families fund non-medical care and what drives the cost.
Funding Options
How families typically pay
Private Pay
The most common and most flexible option. Families pay directly for scheduled hours, and the plan can be adjusted as needs change.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Many policies cover non-medical home care. Benefit triggers, elimination periods and documentation requirements vary — we can provide the service records your carrier requests.
Veterans Benefits
Some veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for benefits that help offset in-home care costs. Eligibility is determined by the VA, not by our agency.
State & Community Programs
Massachusetts elder services agencies administer programs that may help certain households. Eligibility, waitlists and covered services are set by those programs.
What Affects Cost
Your rate follows your care plan

- Overnight, weekend or holiday coverage
- Travel distance within the service area
- Whether care is short-term (post-hospital) or ongoing
Important to Know
Medicare generally does not pay for ongoing non-medical home care such as companionship, homemaking or personal care hours. Coverage rules for insurance, veterans and state programs are set by those organizations and change over time.
