In-Home Care in your area

In-home care covers two different things that families often conflate. Non-medical home care is help with daily activities, companionship and household tasks. Home health is clinical care ordered by a physician and delivered by licensed staff.

Three things worth knowing first

• Non-medical home care is generally private pay. Medicare does not cover it. Wisconsin's 2024 CareScout homemaker-services median was $82,368/yr and home health aide was $86,944/yr, both above the national medians.
• Medicare-covered home health is intermittent and skilled — nursing visits, physical therapy — not a caregiver who stays with your parent.
• IRIS, Wisconsin's self-directed Medicaid long-term-care option, lets a participant hire and direct their own in-home workers, but IRIS is only available for home, apartment, adult family home or RCAC settings, not a CBRF or nursing home.
