Payment Options for Care Services
Please see our accepted payment methods below:
- Private Pay (Out-of-Pocket):
- Most families pay for in home care for a loved one out of their own pockets. While in-home senior care is often less expensive than assisted living or institutional care, prices vary depending on the type of care needed and the number of hours necessary. Calculating out-of-pocket costs and determining ways to lower them should be done after all other choices have been exhausted.
