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 La Jolla:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| La Jolla Meals on Wheels | (858) 452-0391 | 9888 Genesee Avenue, La Jolla, CA 92037 | Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organization that provides meals to homebound seniors in the La Jolla area. Volunteers deliver meals around noon each day from Monday to Friday and freezer meal packs are available for weekends. There is a small charge for each meal but financial assistance is available. Additionally, the organization offers the Friendly Visitors program, in which volunteers spend one to two hours each week visiting homebound seniors and making sure they enjoy some social interaction. |
| Senior Center | (858) 459-0831 | 6811 La Jolla Blvd, La Jolla, CA 92037 | The La Jolla Community Center provides a number of free classes each day aimed at seniors in the community. Some of the classes offered include arts and crafts, fitness classes, computer classes and educational lectures. The center provides regular group outings to attractions in the area. There is no charge for any of the activities at the center. There is a small annual membership fee but this can be negotiated if the senior cannot afford the suggested fee. |
| Weatherization Program | (916) 576-7109 | 2389 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95833 | The Weatherization Program is funded by the federal government and the state of California. The program assists low-income households to reduce their monthly energy costs by installing energy-efficient upgrades to their properties. Priority is given to seniors and families with young children.

Some of the upgrades offered include installing solar photovoltaic systems, repairing or replacing air conditioning units, repairing or replacing refrigerators and weatherstripping. |
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.
