What Medicare pays for at home, and what it doesn't
- You pay nothing for covered home health (nursing, therapy) if you're homebound and a provider sees you in person and orders it through a Medicare-certified agency, like the ones above (Medicare.gov).
- Medicare doesn't pay for 24-hour care at home, meal delivery, shopping and cleaning, or personal care when that's the only care needed (Medicare.gov). That's where the rest of the ladder comes in:
- IHSS: Medi-Cal pays for in-home personal care, and family can be the paid caregiver.
- Meals on Wheels for the meals.
- The care ladder: every option, cheapest first, including licensed home care companies.
- PJ for errands, the to-do list (Family Assist, $30/hr) and the paperwork. Price it · Text PJ.
