Payment Options
There are several ways families in the Toledo area can pay for care services. Comfort Keepers accepts a variety of payment methods and can help you determine which options may apply to your situation.
Private Pay (Out-of-Pocket)
Many families choose to pay for in-home care privately using personal savings, retirement funds, or family support. Private pay offers the most excellent flexibility in scheduling care and selecting services.
Benefits of private pay include:
- No eligibility restrictions
- Flexible care plans
- Immediate access to services
Our care coordinators can help you create a customized plan that fits your budget and care needs.
Long-Term Care Insurance
If your loved one has a long-term care insurance policy, it may cover some or all in-home care services. Coverage varies by policy, but many plans include assistance with:
- Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming)
- Companion care
- Homemaking services
Comfort Keepers of Toledo can help review policy benefits and assist with required documentation.
Veterans Benefits (VA Aid and Attendance)
Veterans and surviving spouses may be eligible for VA Aid and Attendance benefits, which can help offset the costs of in-home care.
Eligibility is based on:
- Military service history
- Medical need
- Income and asset requirements
Our team is experienced in helping Toledo-area families understand VA benefits and navigate the application process.
Medicaid Waiver Programs in Ohio
Ohio offers Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid Waivers that may help eligible individuals receive care at home rather than in a facility.
While Medicaid does not typically cover non-medical home care under standard plans, waiver programs may assist with:
- Personal care services
- Support for daily activities
Availability and eligibility vary, and waitlists may apply. We can help direct you to local resources for more information.
Other Financial Resources
Additional options some families explore include:
- Life insurance conversions
- Health savings accounts (HSAs)
- Short-term bridge loans for senior care
Our care team can discuss these options and help you identify solutions that may work for your family.
