How to pay for home care in Honolulu

Families in Honolulu typically use a combination of personal resources, insurance, and public benefit programs to cover the cost of in-home care.

Private pay options

Many seniors in Honolulu use private funds to pay for home care services. These funds often come from retirement savings, Social Security benefits, pension income, or financial support from family members. Long-term care insurance may also cover some or all the costs, depending on the policy. For homeowners, reverse mortgages or home equity loans provide additional resources to finance care. Exploring these options with a financial advisor or an elder care planner can help ensure a sustainable care plan that meets both current and future needs.

Medicare

Medicare may cover short-term home health care when it’s medically necessary and ordered by a doctor. Covered services may include:[03]

  • Skilled nursing care
  • Therapy (physical, occupational, and speech)
  • Durable medical equipment and supplies

Medicare won’t cover ongoing personal care or help with daily activities if these are the only care and support needed.

Medicare resources in Honolulu

For free, unbiased Medicare counseling, elderly residents in Honolulu can contact:

Medicaid

Hawaii’s Medicaid program, Med-QUEST, supports eligible seniors through long-term services and supports. These supports include home- and community-based services, such as:[04]

  • Personal care

VA benefits

Eligible veterans and their surviving spouses in Honolulu may be eligible for VA programs that can help cover the cost of in-home care, including the following:

  • Aid and Attendance (A&A). The Aid and Attendance benefit provides additional monthly payments to eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses who receive a VA pension and require assistance with daily activities.[05] These funds can be used to pay for in-home care services. To apply, visit VA.gov to download Form 21-2680. The completed form can be uploaded online, mailed in, or submitted in person at the regional benefit office in Honolulu.
  • Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care. This program offers trained professionals to assist veterans with personal care needs, allowing them to remain in their homes. Services include help with activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Eligibility is determined by a VA health care provider, and services are coordinated through the local VA medical center. To apply, contact a VA social worker in Hawaii for next steps.[06]
  • Veteran Directed Care (VDC). The VDC program allows eligible veterans to manage their own care services, including hiring personal care aides. This self-directed approach provides flexibility in choosing caregivers and tailoring services to individual needs. Enrollment is coordinated through the local VA medical center’s social work department.​ To access the program, reach out to your loved one’s VA social worker.[07]
