Private Pay (Out-of-Pocket)

Long-term care insurance can significantly help with paying for care, depending on the policy. Many plans provide coverage for:
- Personal care assistance
- Homemaking services
- Companion care
Our team can help review your policy details and assist with documentation to simplify the process of paying for care through insurance benefits.
Veterans Benefits (VA Aid and Attendance)
Eligible veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance benefits, which can help with paying for care at home. These benefits are designed to support seniors who need assistance with daily living activities. We’re honored to guide military families as they explore this valuable resource.
Medicaid and State Programs
In some cases, North Carolina Medicaid programs or waiver services may assist with paying for care for those who qualify. Eligibility typically depends on income, medical need, and program availability. We can help you explore whether Medicaid support may reduce the financial burden of paying for care.
Medicare Coverage
It’s important to understand that Medicare generally does not cover non-medical services such as companionship or personal care. However, short-term home health services may be covered under specific conditions. Knowing these distinctions helps families plan appropriately when paying for care.
