Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
The programs and organizations in the following chart provide financial assistance, legal advice, options counseling and other benefits for older adults in Gardendale.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Alabama Weatherization Assistance Program | (334) 242-5100 | This federally funded program is run by the state government's Department of Economic and Community Affairs. It helps elderly Alabama residents increase insulation, seal drafty windows and doorways, upgrade their HVAC systems and otherwise modify their homes for better energy efficiency. In addition, this weatherization process also reduces heating bills. |
| Jefferson County Meals on Wheels | (205) 592-0413 | Jefferson County residents who are at least 60 years of age and generally unable to leave their homes are eligible to participate in this meal delivery program. Meals are delivered directly to doorsteps at noon on weekdays. |
| United Way Area Agency on Aging of Jefferson County | (800) 243-5463 | This central point for senior services can connect older adults with pro bono legal assistance, help them find respite care, educate them on Medicare and Medicaid topics and find them low-cost prescription medication programs. It also runs an ombudsman program that can help inform seniors regarding home care and its alternatives. |
| Senior Property Tax Exemption | (205) 325-5500 | Alabama residents 65 years of age and older don't need to pay state property tax on their primary residence but must still officially apply for that homestead exemption. To qualify, the applicant must have been living in the residence at the beginning of the tax year. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
