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.
A 2021 AARP study found 77% of adults aged 50+ preferred to remain in their homes for the long term but 71% recognized their homes had, or soon would have, accessibility issues. These factors and others may make some seniors reconsider home care as an option, but there are nonprofit organizations that can solve these issues for free or at a low cost. The following table provides information about five programs that serve La Mirada’s seniors.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels La Mirada | (562) 943-0037 | Meals on Wheels La Mirada is a local nonprofit staffed by volunteers who deliver hot, nutritious meals to the city's homebound seniors. The service relies on donations, so it welcomes any contributions seniors can make toward the costs of their meals. |
| AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program | (562) 567-9470 | IRS-certified volunteers operating from the Whittier Palm Park Center help seniors prepare their taxes each year. Elderly clients can drop off their documents at the center and a volunteer can do the prep work for them, or the two can work together. The service is free. |
| Home Improvement Assistance | (562) 943-0131 | Low to moderate-income homeowners who satisfy all eligibility criteria can get a $30,000 loan at 3% annual interest. The loan must be used for home improvements, such as making it more accessible for a wheelchair user or fixing health and safety issues. |
| La Mirada Activity Center | (562) 902-3160 | La Mirada Activity Center offers programs for seniors who would like to engage with others. There are age-appropriate exercise classes, education programs and creative activities, such as arts and crafts. The facility also houses a coffee club and cafe where members can socialize. |
| Durable Medical Equipment Loans | (818) 279-6580 | Helping Hands operates a durable medical equipment closet that loans gently used devices to seniors for free. The length of the loan can vary, and the type of equipment available is subject to donations. Commonly loaned devices include wheelchairs, beds and bathroom safety devices. |
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.
