Sometimes it just makes sense to have some extra hands to help do some tasks. Whether that's cooking some meals, helping with the bath, or cleaning the house. This level of extra assistance can make the difference between someone being able to stay living safely at home or needing to move into assisted living. ComForCare is a great in-home care agency that can provide service nationwide.

Why we know this works

We love this in-home care service because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch family caregivers run themselves into the ground trying to handle every meal, bath, and load of laundry alone. Is in-home care cheaper than assisted living? Often, yes: four hours a day, five days a week at $30 an hour comes to about $2,400 a month, while the national average for assisted living runs around $5,000 a month. If a few hours of daily help keeps someone living safely at home, in-home care costs roughly half as much. Keep in mind Medicare does not pay for it; long term care insurance can, and otherwise it is paid out of pocket.

This is especially valuable for people recovering after a hospital stay, living with early dementia, or needing hands-on help with bathing and cooking. If safety problems continue even with daily help, or care is needed around the clock, talk with Care Patrol Senior Placement and Advisement about other living options.

Specifications

In home care is not covered by Medicare. It can be covered by long term care insurance if you have a policy. Also if on Medicaid, they offer caregivers through a different system.

In home care is paid for out of pocket if a long term care insurance is not involved.
