Start with care level, budget, location, hospital access, transportation, staffing, services included in the base rate, and what happens if needs increase.

Does Medicare pay for home care in Los Angeles?

Non-medical home care is often private-pay. Medicare may cover limited home health services when medical criteria are met, but not ordinary long-term custodial home care.
