How to stay in your own home longer
Two kinds of services help people remain in their homes longer. Home health care is covered by Medicare and brings professional nurses and therapists into the home to provide treatment. It's intended for people who are recovering from illness, injury, or surgery. Private duty care is not covered by Medicare.
