    No, Medicare is very limited on home health care services.  Medicare does not cover custodial care either at home or in a facility.  Medicare will cover some rehab services at home performed by approved skilled therapists or nurses. the will not pay for home health aids.  You would either have to private pay or qualify for Medicaid to receive this type of assistance.
