Benefits and payment questions

Questions about Medicare coverage, Medicaid long-term care eligibility, VA Aid and Attendance, or long-term care insurance claims should go to the relevant program or a benefits counsellor, not to a care provider. We can tell you what our service is; we cannot determine your eligibility for anything.

Our page on Medicare and home care explains the general distinction between skilled home health and non-medical care, which is where most confusion starts.

Locally in Boerne

Practical support in a town this size often comes from places that are not care organisations at all: churches with visitation ministries, the Patrick Heath Public Library, the Boerne Senior Center, neighbourhood associations, and the volunteer transport networks that quietly exist in most Hill Country communities.

If you are new to arranging care for a parent here, calling two or three of these before calling any provider is usually time well spent.

A note on directories and lead sites

Many senior care websites that appear to be neutral directories are lead-generation businesses that sell your contact details to multiple providers. That is legal and common; it is also why a single enquiry can produce nine phone calls.

Ask any site you submit information to what happens to that information. This site is not a directory: enquiries here relate to the non-medical in-home care described on these pages.

Questions families ask

Do you place people in assisted living or nursing homes?

No. This site is about non-medical in-home care only. For facility placement, the resources above and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program are more appropriate starting points.

Can you tell me if my parent qualifies for Medicaid?

No. Eligibility determinations are made by Texas Health and Human Services. A benefits counsellor through the Area Agency on Aging can help you work through the process.

Still need help working out where to begin?

If you have read three websites and are more confused than when you started, describe the situation and we will point you in a sensible direction, including away from us if that is the right answer.
