Most of us don’t want to end our days in a nursing home, and would rather “age in place,” so it’s important to become familiar with available home health care services.
There are three major ways to pay for home health care: self-pay, long-term care insurance, or Medicaid, which is government provided health insurance for those whose assets have been depleted. Medicare, which is government provided health insurance for the elderly, only has limited community home health care. A New York elder law attorney can help to decide which one is the best option.
