Assisted living services are similar too, at $5,250, but the senior must reside in the facility. Home care’s one-on-one nonmedical services have a median fee of $5,911, which is shared by the similarly named home health care, a medical service delivered by registered professionals. Nursing homes charge around $9,125 for near-hospital levels of medical care.

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.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Irvine:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property Tax Assistance | (714) 834-2727 | 500 S Main St, Fl 2, Orange, CA 92868 | Irvine senior citizens are eligible for two state-funded property tax assistance programs: the Property Tax Postponement Program and the Homeowner and Renter Assistance Program. Senior applicants must be at least 62 years old and meet specific income requirements. Those eligible for Property Tax Postponement may defer property tax payments on their home. California would pay the taxes, and the deferred payment would create a lien on their property. The Homeowner and Renter Assistance program will have the state reimburse a portion of property taxes but not create a lien on the property. |
| Utility Payment Assistance | (714) 839-6199 | 11870 Monarch St., Garden Grove, CA 92841 | Seniors who need financial assistance for their heating and cooling costs may be eligible to get government funding for their utilities. The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) provides one-time financial aid for qualified applicants’ electric or gas bill. For seniors to be considered for the program, they must be an Orange County resident and meet the monthly income guidelines. The Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) will also offer utility payment assistance for qualified applicants in crisis situations. |
| Irvine Meals on Wheels | (949) 724-6910 | 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606-5207 | Homebound seniors may be eligible to receive fresh, nutritious home-delivered meals from the Meals on Wheels program provided by the city of Irvine. The program helps seniors in Irvine maintain their independence and remain living in their own homes. |
| Care Management and In-Home Support | (949) 724-6926 | 20 Lake Road, Irvine, CA 92604 | The City of Irvine has care managers who can connect seniors living at home to local resources and provide care plan recommendations to help them age safely at home. The program can link older adults to community programs or transportation services, provide regular visits and phone calls or have volunteers visit homebound seniors to reduce feelings of isolation. |
| Residential Rehabilitation Program | (949) 724-6470 | 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606 | The City of Irvine’s Residential Rehabilitation Program helps low-income homeowners pay for critical home improvements through deferred loans and emergency grants. The program will help eligible applicants in need of accessibility or health and safety home repairs. Homeowners who need repairs that will cost $5,000 or less can also receive emergency grants. These grants are limited to emergency code-related repairs. Eligible applicants must own the home and meet income requirements. |
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.
