Question 2

Does insurance cover in-home care in Central Texas?

Accepted Answer

Most private duty home care is paid out-of-pocket (private pay). However, long-term care insurance policies often cover non-medical home care services. Medicare generally does not cover custodial home care, but Medicaid waiver programs in Texas may help qualifying seniors. We're happy to walk you through your options — just give us a call.

Question 5

What does 'private pay' home care mean?

Accepted Answer

Private pay means the family pays for care directly — not through a government program or insurance. It gives you the most flexibility in choosing your caregiver, hours, and services. Navigate Care is a private pay agency, which means no waitlists, no bureaucratic delays, and care that starts on your schedule.

Question 6

Is in-home care cheaper than an assisted living facility in Texas?

Accepted Answer

For many families, yes. Assisted living in Central Texas can cost $3,500–$5,500 per month or more. If your parent only needs part-time help — say 20–30 hours per week — private duty home care is often significantly less expensive while keeping them in the comfort of their own home.
