SHC Post-COVID Home Care

"It was initially thought that patients with COVID-19 fell into two groups: those who experience severe symptoms and require hospitalization; and those who have mild flu-like symptoms and recover within a couple of weeks. However, we now know that there is a third important group: people who begin to recover from COVID-19 but continue to experience heart issues, shortness of breath, fatigue, or cognitive difficulties—often for weeks or months."

Why should I consider private personal care?

​

You may want to consider private care for yourself or your loved one for several reasons:

• Paying out-of-pocket gives you greater flexibility in the type and the number of services you receive. For example, private insurance and Medicare have requirements for home care coverage. Personal care allows you to avoid these restrictions and limits if you do not qualify for benefits or have exhausted them yet still want or need maintenance.

• Paying for home care may also be a less costly alternative to a nursing home or assisted living facility.
