Payment Methods for In-Home Care Services

Most people will prefer in-home care over nursing home care not only because it is generally much less expensive, but also its more desirable to remain in the comfort, freedom, and familiarity of one’s own home. The following are some methods in which our clients pay for services:

Private Pay

Many of our clients pay for home care services privately. We accept all major credit cards or ACH debit. We bill weekly for services.

Medicaid Funded Home and Community-based Programs

Some of our clients will do a “spend down” of their personal savings until they qualify for a Medicaid-funded program to help them “age-in-place” in the comfort of their homes. Assisted Living Services, Inc. has been a credentialled provider with the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) for over two decades, providing medicaid waiver care in Newtown that can be helpful in making this transition seamless. Some of the more widely used programs under CHCPE include:

  • Personal Care Assistant
  • Homemaking, Live-in Companion

Long Term Care Insurance
Long Term Care Insurance refers to a host of services and care that are not generally covered by regular health insurance. If you have Long Term Care Insurance you may be eligible for benefits if you cannot perform certain “activities of daily living,” or suffer from dementia or other cognitive impairment. Although our services are generally approved by most LTC plans, we are not able to guarantee the extent.
