Cost and insurance
Paying for Home Care in Oak Brook
Three ways families cover private duty care, and how SafeLife helps with each.
We bill your insurer directly
Most LTC policies cover private duty home care. SafeLife reviews your policy, completes the assessment your carrier requires and sends invoices and care logs straight to the insurer.
Skilled care when it is needed
Medicare does not pay for private duty care. When skilled nursing or therapy is needed after a hospital stay, our Medicare-certified Home Health team provides it alongside your caregiver.
Seniors 60 and older with limited income may qualify for state-funded care through the Illinois Community Care Program. Ask us and we will check eligibility with you.

What Families Say About SafeLife
We had a great experience with Safe Life Home services for my mother after a recent hospitalization. The nurse was professional, made Mom so at ease, and communicated well with our family. The customer satisfaction staff checked with us regularly to make sure all was going well.
My care was thorough, thoughtful and kind. My circumstances were unique with my ostomy and he was diligent about finding the most effective way to deal with it while considering my emotional state at the time.
Safe Life Home Care was the best experience I have ever had. The caregivers were so kind, helpful, supportive, and professional.
