How respite care is paid for
- If someone is on Medicare hospice care, Medicare covers a short inpatient respite stay that the hospice team arranges.
- Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) let people who qualify for Medicaid get care at home or in their community instead of an institution. Your state Medicaid agency decides who qualifies.
- Many families pay privately, and some long-term care insurance policies pay toward care. Check what your policy covers before care starts.
