Mind Body Family Spirit home care What is Home Care? Home Care is basically divided into two primary types of agencies: medical home health agencies that provide skilled care and non-medical homecare agencies (also known as private duty agencies) that provide unskilled care. Medical Home Health Agencies The medical home health care agency provides skilled services usually ordered by a physician. These agencies are licensed by the state and accept reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and other private health insurances. Non-Medical Homecare Agencies The non-medical homecare agency provides supportive care that is supplied by home health aides, certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and also non-certified nurse aides, homemakers, and companions. Non-medical home care agencies may or may not be licensed as requirements vary from state to state but are universally private pay with exception of coverage from some long-term care insurance policies. However, it is very important to point out that personal care services such as bathing, dressing and meal preparation are what is needed most and has to be paid for out-of-pocket.
