If you do not require skilled professional services such as nursing or rehabilitation therapies (as is required for coverage by most insurers) you may choose to hire a home attendant yourself, rather than going through a home health agency.

Consider both the advantages and disadvantages to hiring an aide yourself.

Home health agencies generally have doctors who can visit you at home if necessary. If your doctor doesn't make house calls, there are doctors who do that you can access on your own.
