What is the difference between “private care” and “home care?”
Private care services include tending to daily household chores, such as light housekeeping and household maintenance, assistance with personal health care, and tending to other miscellaneous errands and tasks, such as picking up prescription medicines and assistance with pets. Private care is paid for out-of-pocket or by a long-term insurance plan. You do not have to meet Medicaid requirements, and a doctor’s referral is not needed.
In-Home care is possible for those who qualify for Medicaid under our Personal Assistant Services (PAS). Medicaid is the state-operated program that provides non medical care for certain low-income individuals and families who have limited resources.
