   To get any type of Home Health Care from Medicare requires the need for skilled care such as occupational, speech or physical therapy for a very limited amount of time generally after a hospital stay of at least 3 days not counting day of discharge.  Medicare does not pay for custodial care  Custodial care is assistance with bathing, cleaning the home, assistance with meals and other activities of daily living.
