After a fall, surgery, or illness, Medicare won't pay for the daily help you need at home. UNL's Home Care Shield pays you up to $150,000 in cash, directly, so you can afford to stay home — plus $3,500 cash for the family member helping you.
Medicare covers the hospital and rehab. But when it's time to go home — when you need help bathing, dressing, or someone watching over you — Medicare stops.
