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

    FAQ

    Does insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid cover in-home private-duty care?

    No, unfortunately, private duty home care is typically not covered by traditional health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. These services are often paid for out-of-pocket or through long-term care insurance, if applicable.

    Should I hire a private caregiver or go through an agency?

    Choosing a private duty agency like APEX Health Services comes with many advantages that people often overlook. A reputable agency ensures caregivers are insured, background-checked, and professionally trained. The agency also takes care of payroll, taxes, benefits, and workers’ compensation. The highest level of support can provide a sense of security and consistency in care.
