How to Pay for In-Home Care in New Jersey

The main ways families pay for non-medical in-home care in New Jersey — private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, and Medicaid/DDD funding.

How to Pay for In-Home Care in New Jersey

1. Private pay

Many families pay out of pocket, often the simplest way to start. Harmony Support offers flexible scheduling with no long-term contracts, so you only pay for the hours you need.

2. Long-term care insurance

If your loved one has a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy, it may cover non-medical in-home care. Check the policy's daily benefit, elimination period, and covered services.

3. Veterans benefits

Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for the VA's Aid & Attendance benefit, which can help pay for in-home personal care and companionship.

4. Medicaid & NJ DDD funding

For individuals with developmental disabilities, many support services are funded through Medicaid via the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities. Older adults may have other Medicaid pathways.
