Home Instead provides in-home care services for my husband. He has to be bathed and dressed. We basically need somebody in the home to do light housekeeping like washing, changing his bed, cleaning his wheelchairs, and that type of thing. They try very hard to meet our needs and find a person who is able to take care of my husband, but they said they lost a lot of workers with COVID because people didn’t want to work going in homes and so forth. They’re trying to build up their staff again.
Tomorrow, we’re having a new gal who we never had before. We’ve not had a caregiver for longer than a month. We’re probably on the fourth one now. It’s just not consistent. It’s disconcerting.

We’re using Partners in Care. The biggest things they offered has been good assessment and good recommendations for what I need to have for my friend. The staffing on all the shifts has been good. So far, all the staff people we received have been excellent. They’re just aides, not nursing care like home assistance. They help with meals. They help clean up in the kitchen, bathroom, and his room. They change his bed, do his laundry, take his medications to him (they don’t give him his medications), and help him with transfers. He’s got to be able to do most of the getting up out of bed and into the wheelchair himself, but they assist him with that on standby.
We’ve got two shifts a day with a different person for each shift. We have four caregivers who come back repeatedly, but we still have a number of new people coming in. The big advantage is that if someone can’t make it, I have to either cover it or find a caregiver; they provide that coverage, which to me is a huge advantage. We’re doing two four-hour shifts, seven days a week.
The pricing is a little bit on the higher end of the range, but it’s been worth it. The fact that I’ve not had to worry about all these things has made it very worthwhile. They keep me up-to-date on the scheduling and all those things.

I LOVE Interim! They have been great for my family. When my father was starting to get ill, we decided we didn’t want to put him in a home. We want to keep him at home and we felt he would do better this way. On the weekends we take care of him but during the week when we’re all working, we have somebody that comes in and helps us.
I absolutely LOVE our caregiver who takes care of our father. She is like part of the family. I trust her beyond my wildest dream when we’re all gone and need to do things. She helps us and I couldn’t ask for anyone better. She washes him, gives him a bath, showers him, makes him breakfast in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. She’s right there to make sure he’s safe when he gets up as he has to walk around and do things and just make sure he is not doing something on his own. But it took us a little while to find the exact one that we love now. We started out slow and we started adding more days. It made it at the beginning difficult but once we’ve established a routine, it’s been fantastic. Now she’s full time with us. I like that it’s consistent. I don’t have four or five different people coming and each time somebody different came, I had to go and be there and make sure everything was okay. Interim is great. They have been God sent.

We’re using Quality In-Home Care Specialists for my mom. The service is OK, but they don’t call me when they’re switching people or when people don’t show up. They have employees that they only pay minimum wage — or $12 an hour — so a lot of the workers don’t do a very good job. The ones that do it because their hearts are in it do better. I used a dozen people from them and I only liked Chantal. I told them that if they take her from me, I’m cancelling. I’ve been using them for a long time. She feeds him, she doesn’t make me cook the food, she doesn’t sit here and take my time, she helps to clean him when he makes a mess, wipes him down, takes care of any sores, and she entertains him and talks with him. She will do the dishes and things if I ask, and helps fill out paperwork that has to do with nursing. They’re easy to get along with and easy to talk to. If you get the right person, it’s worth it.

Financial Assistance for Home Care in Cameron Park, CA
Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-term care insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
- Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
- Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
- Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living. Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
- Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.

While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between in-home care and home health care?
In-home care or personal care provides nonmedical home health care that allows seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Home care includes basic services such as companionship, grooming and dressing, recreational activities, bathing and showering, medication reminders and housekeeping. Home health care offers skilled nursing services, including wound care, physical therapy, medical social work and occupational therapy.
What is the average cost for in-home care in Cameron Park?
Cameron Park is located approximately 32 miles from downtown Sacramento. Home care is about the same for both cities, at an average of $5,863 per month. Even though home health care also offers skilled nursing services, the cost is the same.
How do you pay for senior care at home?
The most popular method of paying for senior care at home is through personal funds or income. Family members may also collectively pay for senior care when a parent prefers to remain in their own home. Reverse mortgages allow seniors to borrow off the equity they have in their homes. Other ways to pay for home care include annuities, Medicare, private insurance, home and community-based waiver programs, veterans’ benefits and savings.
What is a home care plan?
A home care plan is a formal contract used to define and coordinate payment for care services. The care plan is a written agreement that describes the daily and weekly activities to be performed by a home care provider.
What to expect with hospice care at home?
Hospice care is typically provided when a loved one has a terminal illness. A doctor makes a referral for a hospice plan when treatments meant to slow or stop a disease are no longer working. The hospice team visits the home and creates a special care plan that includes regular visits. A doctor continues to provide care, and nurses check in regularly. Aides assist with bathing, dressing, cleaning and cooking. Other services include social work and counseling, nutrition, therapy and chaplain and spiritual services.
