Many seniors believe that once they are 65 all their health care needs will be covered. Sadly, they quickly find out that the coverage has limitations.<\/p>\n<p>So, I thought I would help to dispel this myth in the next several entries to our blog. Starting with, what is not covered by Medicare, then, who is eligible for Medicare, and lastly what is covered by Medicare as it relates to home health care.<\/p>\n<p>Where does our company fit in, and how and when do you need our services?<br \/>\nPreferred Care at Home is here when you need us:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 When you don\u2019t qualify for Medicare, but are in need of homemaker services like shopping, cleaning, and laundry or personal care services like bathing, dressing, and using the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 When you no longer are covered by Medicare but need ongoing services in order to maintain your quality of life with independence and dignity in the comforts of your home.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 When you are receiving Medicare, but it isn\u2019t enough or additional services you are wanting are not related to your plan of care. We then come along side one\u2019s Medicare benefit to give you that needed additional care to allow you to maintain your independence and dignity in your home.<\/p>\n<p>At Preferred Care at Home the services such as homemaker or personal care services may vary with each individual Preferred Care at Home franchise office location. Depending on each state and home care license obtained. Each Preferred Care at Home franchise office is independently owned and operated. So feel free to ask if the services you are requesting are within their scope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When talking with clients and their families, I have found that Medicare is misunderstood, especially when it comes to home <a href=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/medicare-how-does-preferred-care-at-home-fit-in\/\" class=\"h5 more-link\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[960,961],"tags":[968,1025],"class_list":["post-6649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-medicare","category-ways-to-pay-for-home-care","tag-home-care","tag-medicare"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.7 (Yoast SEO v21.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Medicare: How does Preferred Care at Home fit in? - Preferred Care at Home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Medicare: How does Preferred Care at Home fit in?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"When talking with clients and their families, I have found that Medicare is misunderstood, especially when it comes to home Learn More\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/medicare-how-does-preferred-care-at-home-fit-in\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Preferred Care at Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-03-06T02:17:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jody Guerrieri, RN.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jody Guerrieri, RN.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/medicare-how-does-preferred-care-at-home-fit-in\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/medicare-how-does-preferred-care-at-home-fit-in\/\",\"name\":\"Medicare: How does Preferred Care at Home fit in? - Preferred Care at Home\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-03-06T02:17:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2009-03-06T02:17:25+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/#\/schema\/person\/61f2c3006d6a22b84f97faa0af9f82dc\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/medicare-how-does-preferred-care-at-home-fit-in\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/medicare-how-does-preferred-care-at-home-fit-in\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/medicare-how-does-preferred-care-at-home-fit-in\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Medicare: How does Preferred Care at Home fit in?\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/\",\"name\":\"Preferred Care at Home\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/#\/schema\/person\/61f2c3006d6a22b84f97faa0af9f82dc\",\"name\":\"Jody Guerrieri, RN.\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/807ca605f0528a2171baad04dd9805b47a39223979ae7632df92434dba4b264f?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/807ca605f0528a2171baad04dd9805b47a39223979ae7632df92434dba4b264f?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Jody Guerrieri, RN.\"},\"description\":\"Jody Guerrieri, RN, is the vice president and co-founder of Preferred Care at Home.
