Understanding Your Options in Alpharetta
In Alpharetta, GA, the most common ways to pay for quality home care services include:
Private Pay/Out of Pocket – Most families choose to pay for in-home care or assisted living services directly out of pocket, meaning with their own private funds. Though in-home care is usually a more budget-friendly option than in-facility care, please bear in mind that the final cost of care will largely depend on the level of care your loved one may require, as well as the number of hours we have to clock in during every care visit.
Long-Term Care Insurance – A special type of policy called long-term care insurance or LTC can be used to completely cover the costs of care or partially reduce your out-of-pocket expenditures. If your mom or dad is an LTC policyholder, our Alpharetta office can answer questions, provide guidance, and help with the paperwork you need to obtain this special type of coverage for a loved one.
Veterans Administration (VA) Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit – The VA Administration offers a range of programs that beneficiaries may use to partially or fully cover specific in-home care expenditures. Your loved one may be eligible to qualify for VA benefits, provided they meet specific criteria and prove there is a tangible, physical need for quality home care. And just like with LTC insurance, Comfort Keepers can help you navigate the entire process to ensure veteran’s benefits checks start coming ASAP.
Medicaid and Medicare Programs – Traditional Medicare does not cover services for in-home care. However, some Medicare Advantage plans offer a home care benefit that could cover a portion of our costs. Our Alpharetta, GA, location does not participate in the Georgia Medicaid program.
