When a loved one needs help at home, figuring out how to pay for care can feel overwhelming — but you’re not alone. Here are some common ways families cover the cost of in-home care:

1. Private Pay: Many families use personal savings or family contributions to pay for care that keeps loved ones safe and comfortable at home.
2. Long-Term Care Insurance: Some policies cover in-home care services like personal care, companionship, and skilled nursing.
3. Veterans Benefits: Eligible veterans and their spouses may qualify for VA programs that cover hours of care each week.
4. Medicaid & State Programs: Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for Medicaid waiver programs that help pay for home care services.

At BrightStar Care, we understand every family’s situation is unique. We’ll help you navigate your options, coordinate with insurance, and design a personalized care plan that fits your needs — whether it’s a few hours a week or around-the-clock support.

How Water Exercise Benefits Seniors:
💧 Low-Impact Movement:
Water supports the body and reduces stress on joints and bones. This makes it easier and safer for seniors with arthritis or limited mobility to stay active without pain.

💪 Builds Strength & Endurance:
Water provides natural resistance, helping to strengthen muscles, improve balance, and boost stamina — all without heavy equipment.

❤️ Good for Heart Health:
Gentle aerobic water exercises like water walking or aqua aerobics can improve cardiovascular health and circulation.

🧘 Improves Flexibility & Balance:
The buoyancy and gentle resistance of water can help seniors move more freely, stretch safely, and maintain better balance — reducing the risk of falls on land.

😊 Mood & Social Benefits:
Many seniors enjoy group water classes, which provide social connection and can boost mood and mental well-being.
