FAQ
How much does a home health aide care cost?
Home health care costs are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and major insurance plans if you're receiving home health services with nursing or therapy from a Medicare-certified provider as prescribed by your doctor. Medicare doesn't cover home health aide services alone, but it's an affordable option with comprehensive team support.
What's the difference between a home health aide and a personal care aide?
Home health aides assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility as part of Medicare-covered home health care. Personal care aides provide similar services in addition to companionship and housekeeping, usually paid out-of-pocket for personal care needs.

Your team was great! My entire family believed that APEX, especially Mary, pulled miracles on Friday evening when my mom was admitted. Somehow your team was able to get a hospital bed, oxygen, a shower chair, and medications within hours. This is a truly amazing service. My mom was a mess this weekend and we could not have managed her care without the APEX team. Sweglo Family
