Informatix Health believes everyone deserves personalized care at home. You don’t need to be wealthy to get 1-on-1 support for yourself or a loved one. It’s a common myth that only the rich can afford this kind of care, but that’s simply not true.
If you live in Massachusetts, there are several ways to access quality home care without draining your savings. We work with families every day who are surprised to learn what resources are available to help them.
What Is 1:1 Home Care?
1:1 home care means that a caregiver comes to your home to focus only on you or your loved one. Whether it’s a CNA, HHA, LPN, or RN, this caregiver is there to help with daily tasks, provide emotional support, and make life easier and safer.
This kind of care can include:
- Help with bathing, dressing, and grooming
- Preparing meals and assisting with feeding
- Medication reminders
- Light housekeeping
- Companionship and mobility support
It’s care delivered in the comfort of your own home, where you or your loved one feels most comfortable.
Common Myths About Home Care
Myth: It’s only for people with lots of money
Reality: There are programs and insurance plans that can help pay for care, including MassHealth and long-term care insurance.
Myth: Insurance doesn’t cover home care
Reality: Many long-term care insurance policies include in-home services, and MassHealth provides several options to help keep people in their homes.
Myth: Home care is only for people at the end of life
Reality: People use home care for a wide range of needs, like recovering after surgery, managing chronic conditions, or simply getting help to stay independent at home.
Ways to Pay for Home Care
1. MassHealth (Medicaid in Massachusetts)
MassHealth offers several helpful programs for people who qualify:
- The PCA (Personal Care Attendant) Program allows individuals to hire their own caregiver for daily tasks.
- Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help pay for in-home support so people can avoid moving to a facility.
- Adult Foster Care (AFC) allows a loved one or friend to get paid for providing daily care.
2. Long-Term Care Insurance
If you or a loved one has long-term care insurance, check the benefits. Many plans cover in-home care services, including help from certified caregivers.
3. Veterans’ Benefits
Veterans may be eligible for help from the VA through programs like Aid and Attendance, which can support in-home care needs.
4. Private Pay with Flexible Options
Even if you’re paying out of pocket, we offer flexible care plans. Some families only need a few hours of help each day or just a couple of days a week. We’ll work with your budget and schedule.
