Low-income seniors who cannot afford private pay home care may be eligible for support with their care through Medicaid. The rules for Medicaid are state-specific, and Medicaid itself is means-tested, so not all seniors will be able to take advantage of this benefit.
Some other programs may help reduce out-of-pocket costs for home care. Resources:
SC Medicaid Waiver program allows individuals who require nursing home level care and assistance with their activities of daily living to receive care in their communities or homes instead of in nursing homes. In addition to personal assistance, adult day care, medical equipment and supplies, home modifications, and a variety of other home supports are covered under this program.
Certain family members, such as the adult children of aged parents, are eligible to serve in these roles provided they pass the necessary background checks and are approved by the state. To be clear, spouses cannot be paid to provide care.
South Carolina Medicaid is also referred to as Healthy Connections. This program is administered by South Carolina’s Community Long Term Care Division of the Department of Health and Human Services.
