Families in Bradenton and the surrounding areas often have questions when considering home care for a loved one. Below are answers to the most common questions we hear — designed to help you make an informed decision.
1. How much does home care cost in Bradenton?
The cost of home care in Bradenton depends on the type of support your loved one needs. Seniors Helping Seniors® provides homemaker/companionship services, personal care, dementia supervision services, respite, transportation, and more. Rates stay consistent with local industry standards. [See our Bradenton home care pricing blog for details.]
2. What’s the difference between home care and home health?
Home care focuses on non-medical assistance with daily living — like meal prep, errands, companionship, and personal care. Home health, on the other hand, delivers skilled medical care (such as nursing or therapy) ordered by a doctor and usually covered by insurance. Seniors Helping Seniors® specializes in non-medical home care, which allows seniors to remain safe, comfortable, and independent.
3. Does Medicare, Medicaid, or the VA pay for home care in Bradenton?
Medicare does not generally cover ongoing home care services. However, veterans may qualify for coverage:
- VA Benefits: Seniors Helping Seniors® is contracted with the VA. Many veterans use the HHA/Respite program or Aid & Attendance to cover care. We also guide veterans through the application process.
- Medicare Advantage: Some plans now include limited in-home support.
- PACE Program: For those who qualify, services may be fully covered.
Most families choose private pay. Even so, we help explore every available option.
4. How are caregivers vetted and trained?
All caregivers hold certifications or licenses, pass an FBI Level II background check, and complete a detailed screening process. In addition, most of our caregivers are age 50+. This means they bring patience, reliability, and valuable life experience. Our peer-to-peer model builds trust and strengthens connections with clients.
5. Will I get the same caregiver every time?
Continuity is key. That’s why Seniors Helping Seniors® prioritizes reliable scheduling and low turnover. We match families with caregivers who provide consistency, reducing the stress of rotating staff. Families and care professionals often tell us this is one of the top reasons they choose us over other agencies.
