Paying for home care, made clearer
A lot of families in Southern California aren't ready for what non-medical home care costs. We'll walk you through your options and point you to resources that may help.
The cost question
What home care costs, and who pays for it.
If your parent doesn't have long-term care insurance or veteran benefits, you'll most likely be paying privately. We can talk you through options that may help with some or all of the cost.
If money is tight, ask us about community and government programs. Some offer low-cost or free services to people who qualify, and we can help you find them.
For a closer look at pricing, read how much in-home care costs. If a work injury is the reason care is needed, see workers' compensation home care. You can also browse all of our home care services.
