No. Unfortunately, Medicare does not pay for services like Granny NANNIES.
Granny NANNIES assist with day-to-day living tasks and are considered a “Non-Medical
Home Care Services.” A good rule of thumb is that Medicare typically only covers
temporary Home Care Services provided by Skilled Practitioners such as
Physicians, RN's, PT's, OT's, etc. Services covered by Medicare are typically
only 1-3 visits per week for about an hour each visit.
Most clients receiving Medicare Home Care Services often need additional help with
day-to-day tasks. This support would be from a service like Granny NANNIES. Having a
Granny Nanny provides valuable support, encouraging patients to stay engaged with physical
and occupational therapy exercises between the 1-3 weekly visits, all while ensuring safety
and supervision.
