First FAQ
Does Medicare pay for non-medical home care?
No. Medicare only covers short-term, physician-ordered skilled medical care (like nursing or physical therapy) for homebound individuals. Non-medical care is typically private pay, covered by long-term care insurance, or funded through state program
Second FAQ
Can non-medical caregivers or Direct Care Workers (DCWs) give medications?
No. Non-medical direct care workers in Arizona cannot administer medications, give insulin injections, or monitor clinical vital signs like blood pressure and blood sugar. We can only give reminders.
Third FAQ
How do I pay for non-medical home care if Medicare doesn't cover it?
Options include private family pay, long-term care insurance policies, VA benefits, or Arizona's state Medicaid program via AHCCCS and the Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) for eligible low-income residents.
Forth FAQ
What is the difference between non-medical home care and home health care?
Home health care is clinical, medical care delivered by licensed nurses or therapists under a doctor's order. Non-medical home care focuses purely on daily living support and companionship and does not require a doctor's prescription.
