Private Pay

For families that don't qualify for Medicaid programs. Local Brownsville market rate: ~$13–$25/hr depending on service level. We offer a free in-home assessment to determine a care plan within your budget.

We bill directly to your long-term care insurance company (Genworth, John Hancock, Mutual of Omaha, Northwestern Mutual, New York Life, and more). The family doesn't pay out of pocket.

What does Medicare NOT cover?

Medicare does NOT cover long-term non-skilled personal care. Medicare covers home health care (skilled nursing, therapies) but not routine Personal Assistance. Many families confuse Medicare with Medicaid — tell us your situation and we'll guide you.
