Home Care

There are several types of home care that are available. They range from licensed nurses and therapists for medical needs (physical therapy, blood tests, wound care) to certified aides or family members for personal needs (eating, bathing, grooming). Unfortunately, what you get often depends on things such as your insurance, your financial status, and what your medical needs are. If you do not have money or insurance and do not have state provided aide (Medicaid) your options are limited. You may want to see a licensed certified social worker (LCSW) for assistance. Some states will provide income for a specific number of hours per month to help pay for the care of a family member.
