“How will I pay for home care?” is one of the top questions from families who are researching care for a  loved one. In fact, there are several ways that home care services can be funded as detailed below.

One must first understand what type of service they are purchasing.  Is the service provided by a Home Health Agency with employees covered by Professional Liability Insurance, or is it a Nurse Registry with contractors or only a Companion/Homemaker company.  For more information about the types of providers in Florida click here – Types of home care.
