Senior Home Care Costs and Payment Options

You don't have to spend a fortune on assisted living or nursing homes to find the right care for your loved one. At Visiting Angels Gastonia, we make it easy to keep things affordable while giving seniors the personalized in-home support they need to stay comfortable and happy. With flexible care plans, you’ll only pay for what your loved one actually needs—no extra costs, just the care they deserve.

In-home care is often a more cost-effective alternative to assisted living facilities, offering flexibility without sacrificing quality. Our caregivers work with your family to create a customized senior home care plan tailored to your loved one’s unique needs and schedule.

We provide assistance with:

• Personal care: Bathing, dressing, and grooming
• Meal preparation: Ensuring healthy, balanced meals
• Housekeeping: Light cleaning and organization
• Medication reminders: Keeping track of daily routines
• Transportation: Rides to appointments or errands
• Companionship: Reducing isolation through meaningful connections

Every senior’s needs are different. That’s why we offer a range of care options, including part-time help, overnight care, and 24/7 support. Whether your loved one needs short-term assistance after an illness or ongoing care for dementia, we’re here to adjust as their situation evolves.

How to Afford Senior Care in Gastonia

While Medicare doesn’t cover non-medical in-home senior care, there are several ways to make senior care more accessible:

• Veterans benefits: If your loved one or their spouse served in the military, they may be eligible for assistance through VA programs, such as the Aid and Attendance benefit. These programs can help cover the costs of in-home care, making it easier for veterans and their families to access the support they need.
• Long-term care insurance: Many policies include coverage for in-home care services.
• Private pay: Families often rely on Social Security, retirement savings, or pensions to fund care.
• Medicaid programs: While not all care qualifies, some state Medicaid programs offer limited coverage for personal assistance.

Our team is here to guide you through payment options and help you find resources to make care affordable for your family.

How Much Does Assisted Living Cost Compared to Home Care?

The cost of assisted living versus in-home care can vary depending on location, but assisted living tends to be more expensive overall. Many facilities require an upfront deposit, and residents typically pay a flat rate for care, whether they need all of it or not. While amenities like meal plans, social activities, and fitness options are often included, these can increase the price—especially if they're not used.

In contrast, home care services offer more flexibility. With Visiting Angels, we tailor a care schedule based on your loved one's specific needs, so you only pay for what’s truly necessary. As those needs change, we can adjust the services provided, ensuring the cost stays manageable.

Can I Get In-Home Care for Someone with More Complicated Health Needs?

Absolutely. Visiting Angels can provide specialized care for those with complex needs, including:

• Alzheimer's care
• Dementia care
• Palliative care
• End-of-life care

We also provide extra one-on-one help for seniors living in assisted living facilities who might need a little more support. Our experienced caregivers make sure your loved one gets the personalized care they need, no matter their situation.

We're here to help, and our process begins with a free, in-home consultation where we get to know your loved one and their unique needs. To request yours, call us at 704-825-3350 or complete our online contact form. We're here to make sure your loved one receives the support they deserve.
