READ MOREThe 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey reveals the average Concord senior pays $6,864 per month for home care. This doesn’t compare favorably with the state and national averages. The typical Californian saves $763 per month when compared to their equal in Concord, while the average American saves $1,907. However, Concord isn’t the costliest option in the region because San Jose’s average senior pays another $238. In reality, seniors choosing nearby alternatives to Concord are likely to save on costs. If they choose Napa, it’s $429 per month, in Vallejo, it’s $906, and in Stockton, it’s $1,382 less than Concord.

Home care’s median fee of $6,864 is cheaper by $286 per month when compared with home health care. The gap is wider with nursing home care, at $4,702. But these are medical services by registered nurses and licensed therapists. Therefore, it’s more fitting to compare home care with nonmedical options. Assisted living is cheaper by $545 and with adult day care, it’s $4,914 less. However, the former requires congregate care and the latter, daily journeys to a center.

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.
Living at home is often the best option for seniors but it can present challenges that residents in institutions don’t face, such as home repairs and energy bills. The following table reveals nonprofit organizations that help Concord’s seniors for free or at a low cost if they’re in difficulty. For example, there’s free legal representation and freshly prepared meals delivered to the door.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels Diablo Region | (925) 937-8311 | This nonprofit delivers to homebound seniors with no other means of getting fresh meals. Deliveries are Monday thru Friday, with extra deliveries on holidays and weekends when necessary. A registered dietician designs each meal to ensure seniors receive one-third of their daily dietary needs. Meals are free, although donations are welcome. |
| Energy and Water Assistance | (925) 267-6624 | Contra Costa County administers programs to help low-income residents struggling with energy and water costs. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) makes a one-time payment per year towards an applicant's gas or electricity bill. The Weatherization program covers costs to make homes more energy-efficient and repair appliances. |
| Concord Vet Center | (925) 680-4526 | Free of charge, Concord Vet Center provides nonmedical counseling services to veterans and their families. It's open on weekdays during normal working hours. Counselors help people struggling with bereavement and PTSD. There's also a mental health care department for issues such as depression, anger management and grief. |
| Contra Costa Senior Legal Services | (925) 609-7900 | Contra Costa Senior Legal Services provides free support to adults aged 60+. It helps in civil law matters only. Examples include being refused public benefits, facing a home eviction and being exploited because of age. It can also help with advanced health care directives and durable power of attorney. |
| Home Repair Grants and Loans | (510) 803-3388 | Concord homeowners on low incomes can apply for a home repair grant or loan to cover repairs to their owner-occupied properties. Non-repayable grants of up to $15k can pay for emergency repairs or improve accessibility, such as wheelchair ramps. Low or no-interest loans can be up to $75k. |
| Senior Property Tax Exemption | (925) 682-8000, Ext 4004 | Homeowners aged 65+ living within the Mt. Diablo Unified School District can apply for a property tax exemption on their primary residence. The exemption is to the $67 per year Measure A Mello-Roos tax. Exemptions are automatically applied every year, so seniors don't need to reapply after approval. |
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.
