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.
Tucson offers seniors many low-cost and free resources to help them to continue to live independently. We’ve compiled a few of the most notable resources below.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Pima Council on Aging | (520) 790-7262 | Certified resource specialists assist seniors and their family members with identifying individual needs and accessing the appropriate resources. The nonprofit organization partners with other area nonprofit agencies and community members to offer help with financial and legal issues, in-home care and delivered meals. |
| Tucson Dedicated Senior Centers | (520) 791-4877 | Three dedicated senior centers and neighborhood community centers throughout Tucson offer senior-focused programs that provide socialization opportunities and support for the city's older residents. Part of the Tucson Parks and Recreation Administration, senior programs provide recreational activities, field trips, educational and cultural opportunities and meal programs for a nominal fee. |
| Lend a Hand Senior Assistance | (520) 248-6882 | This nonprofit organization's trained volunteers assist senior residents who want to live independently and age safely in place. Seniors may receive meal and grocery delivery, minor home repairs, transportation, social home visits and inclusion in local events. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times 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.
