What’s home care?
Home care is when a trusted professional companion or caregiver comes to the home to help an older adult with daily activities so they can continue living safely and comfortably in the place they love.

The level of care depends on the care recipient’s needs and can range from a few hours a day, a few days a week to 24-hour care or live-in care.

When is home care helpful?
There are many situations when home care can significantly improve the overall wellness and quality of life for an older adult—and their family. These are the most common:
  • A loved one needs some help to live safely on their own
  • Following a serious medical incident or hospitalization
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or more serious dementia
  • A chronic or age-related health condition or illness
  • For companionship and healthier social connection
  • A family caregiver needs support or time to rest and recharge

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Medicare cover the cost of home care?
If you have Original Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) or Part B (Medical Insurance), you may be eligible for Medicare home health benefits. To qualify, you must meet all of these requirements: be homebound, be under the active care of a doctor who has certified that you need intermittent occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, and/or skilled nursing care. And the home health agency must be Medicare approved. Please note that home health care is a different service from non-medical home care.


Medicare does not cover long-term care, 24-hour care at home, or non-medical home care if you need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) or personal care like bathing and have no other medical needs. Understanding exactly what Medicare covers can be complicated. We recommend that you consult with an insurance expert to see if you or your loved one is eligible.
Will my long-term care insurance cover home care?
It depends on your policy. If this is your first time using your benefits for home care, it’s best to contact your insurance provider to be sure that you have an active claim, confirm any applicable elimination period, and clarify the services covered under your policy. TheKey is an approved provider with most major Long-Term Care (LTC) insurance carriers—and we have a free service to help our clients navigate all aspects of the claims process.

If you need long-term care insurance help to initiate a new claim or need guidance with an existing claim, we have a dedicated team of long-term care insurance experts ready to help. Learn more about this free service.
How are you protecting your clients from COVID-19?
We follow the guidelines of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as state and county mandates in the communities we serve. We also train our caregivers to follow best practices to reduce the spread of infection. We actively encourage our employees to be fully vaccinated, including booster shots, and require that all employees comply with state mandates. The majority of our caregivers, Care Teams, and field office staff are fully vaccinated—and we’re adding to those numbers every day.
Is using a home care agency better than hiring a private caregiver?
If you value safety, security, and reliability, yes. A quality home care agency is insured and also manages the performance and scheduling of its caregivers, handles billing and payroll, and has back-up caregivers to fill in when needed. With a private hire caregiver, you’re responsible for setting up payroll and withholding taxes, caregiver vetting and background checks, and purchasing sufficient liability insurance to cover any accidents or injuries in the home.
