What is Private Duty Home Care?
According to the National Private Duty Association, “Private duty” means private pay. In other words, no government monies are used for the cost of care. The most common methods for covering the cost of private duty home care is through long term care insurance benefits, out of pocket, or other types of savings arrangements.
Private Duty care varies, depending on the individual case and unique care plan for each individual client. In addition, home care doesn’t always mean in a “house”. Sometimes, an individual who needs care may be living in an assisted community or facility.
