Depending on your diagnosis and financial status, Medicaid may pay for your care in the home. There are several grants that are available to help. Long Term Care (LTC) insurance offers coverage of homecare as long as you meet certain qualifications. You may also choose to use your personal funds to pay for home care. Whatever option you choose we will walk you through the process and help you get the help you need.
Medicaid is a joint federal-state healthcare program for low-income individuals. Idaho’s Medicaid program pays for homecare and has other programs for in home supports if people meet eligibility requirements.

Benefits for long-term services can vary from plan to plan so it is important to make sure you know what is covered. For example, some policies will cover only what is considered as skilled care and will not cover visits for meal preparation or respite care. A good policy will cover all personal care services such as help with bathing, meal preparation and light housekeeping.
