What does it cover? and What is the difference between Medicare and Medicare Advantage? \; \;\n\nDespite myths you may have heard\, Medicare \;does \;cover aides to help beneficiaries with personal care in their homes. \;For individuals who need assistance leaving home\, and leaving home takes a taxing effort\, Medicare \;will \;cover aides if the individual also needs the skilled services of a nurse or therapist. \;The Center for Medicare Advocacy is available to assist people having difficulties obtaining Medicare coverage for home health care – or other necessary care. We help Connecticut residents at no charge\, in large part due to funding provided to us by the State Department on Aging and Disability Services. \; \;\nImage URL: https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.evanced.info/Customer/bplct/MEDICARE_101_(1)_F40233DD.JPG X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
