As a private pay home care agency, Visiting Angels works with families in Longmont, Boulder, Louisville and throughout Boulder County, CO to discuss affordable in-home senior care options

Home care agencies across the nation have grown in popularity, replacing nursing homes and assisted living facilities. This is because the vast majority of older adults has a strong desire to age in place – to remain in the comfort of the home they love so much during their senior years.

While most family members are usually supportive of the wishes of their loved ones, most of them are not fully familiar with the financial aspect of home care. Visiting Angels of Boulder County is a private pay caregiving agency, meaning our clients, in most instances, pay for our services privately with their own funds. There are, however, some benefits that can help you reduce your care costs – if your loved one is eligible, of course.

What Payment Options Does Visiting Angels of Boulder County Accept?

At Visiting Angels of Boulder County, we accept the following methods of payment for our in-home senior care services:

• Long-term care insurance – Medical and health insurance plans usually do not include any private home care coverage. However, there is a specific type of insurance policy that can partially or entirely cover the costs of care – long-term care insurance. Check with your loved one to see if they have this type of policy as it can make our services more cost-friendly.
• Out of pocket - When long-term care insurance is not an option for your family, your loved one’s care can be financed with private, out-of-pocket payments. Most families opt to cover the costs of care with their income and savings or by sharing expenses.
• Veteran Assistance - If you are a veteran, you may qualify for one of the assistance programs from the Department of Veteran Affairs. Learn more about veteran home care near you and if you qualify for these VA programs.
