Are in-home care services covered by insurance or Medicare?

Private long-term care insurance policies can cover some of the costs of in-home care services. The amount covered will depend on the specific provider and policy.

What are the common signs that indicate a senior may benefit from in-home care services?

Common signs include requiring help with daily tasks, feeling lonely or isolated, or needing regular reminders for medication.
