Home Health Care
What is Home Health
Navigating your recovery at home, surrounded by familiarity and comfort, can be pivotal for your well-being. After experiencing an injury, illness, or surgical procedure, your doctor may recommend home health care – a service designed to support your journey to independence and self-sufficiency.
Our home health care services allow you to heal and improve without leaving your home. Tailored to meet your unique needs, our expert healthcare professionals deliver necessary treatments with kindness and proficiency.
We understand that every recovery story is different, which is why each home health care plan is only as long as your personal health situation requires. At Ancora, you’re not just another patient, you’re part of a community where care continues beyond normal services.

Paying for Home Health Care
MEDICARE
VA BENEFITS
PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE
MEDICARE
Medicare Part A and Part B cover eligible home health services including:
- Part-time or intermittent skilled nursing care
- Therapy including physical and occupational
- Speech-language pathology services
- Medical social services
- Part-time or intermittent home health aide services
Medicare doesn’t pay for 24-hour care at home or homemaking/custodial services when this is the only care you need. Medicare is focused on providing coverage for medical health expenses, so if the only care you need is non-medical, then Medicare won’t cover it. For more information about what Medicare will and won’t cover with home health, visit: https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/home-health-services
VA BENEFITS
The Veteran’s Affairs health insurance may cover some portion of the home health expenses, depending on your income and level of service-connected disability. The rest of the cost can be covered through Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or out-of-pocket. To find out more, visit https://www.va.gov/health-care/about-va-health-benefits/long-term-care/
There are several forms of assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that can help veterans afford home care. There are three different pension benefits that can be applied towards home health care: the Improved Pension, Housebound, and Aid and Attendance.
PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE
Depending on your policy and coverage, your major medical insurance provider may pay for some or all of your home health care services. There may be a co-pay or deductible, and you will always be made aware of that information before services begin. For assistance and guidance on how to pay for your home health care, contact Ancora to speak with one of our consultants.
