Custodial care

« Back to Glossary Index

Non-skilled personal care, like help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, eating,

getting in or out of a bed or chair, moving around, and using the bathroom. It may also include

the kind of health-related care that most people do themselves, like using eye drops. In most

cases, Medicare doesn’t pay for custodial care.
