How Families in Grove City Are Paying For Home Care

The good news: most families have more options than they realize.

Long-Term Care Insurance

If your parent holds an LTC policy, it may cover most or all of the cost. Amada manages this claim process for free. Many families in Grove City and Plain City are surprised to find their parent’s $200/day LTC benefit effectively makes care free out of pocket.

VA Aid & Attendance Benefit

Qualifying veterans and surviving spouses can receive up to $2,300/month toward home care costs. Amada helps families apply. This benefit is widely underutilized across Madison and Union counties.
