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 Oceanside:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oceanside Senior Citizens Center | (760) 435-5250 | 455 Country Club Lane, Oceanside, CA 92054 | Oceanside Senior Citizens Center delivers an assortment of support and assistance services to senior residents in Oceanside. These include transportation services, support groups, meal distribution services, fitness classes, educational programs and wellness courses. Many of these, such as Solutions for Seniors on the Go and the Oceanside Transportation Program, rely on volunteers to provide services that come with minimal fees or are free. |
| Aging and Independence Services, County of San Diego | (800) 339-4661 | 151 Van Houten Ave., El Cajon, CA 92020 | AIS is run by the Health and Human Services Agency of San Diego County and offers elderly adults access to caregiver support assessments. Services include professional support, group counseling, legal services, educational programs for health management and minor home modification assistance. Additional programs serve those who take care of elderly adults or are elderly adults who are acting as caregivers for others under difficult circumstances. Other more general elder services of the AIS include health insurance counseling, health-promoting classes, fitness courses and legal advocacy for elderly individuals. The AIS also offers nutrition services, mental health assistance and a Senior Volunteers program that engages retirees in their community. |
| Go Oceanside Senior Transportation Program | (760) 435-5155 | 300 N. Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA 92054 | The Go Oceanside program for senior transportation delivers assorted transport services to elderly individuals who are 65 or older. Their services include a volunteer driver program through which seniors can book trips with younger driver assistants. Other transportation options include a grocery shopping assistance service and a seven-day-a-week ride service that offers door-to-door transportation for just $5 per one-way trip. Additionally, there’s the Go Oceanside Go Walk program, which drops seniors off at one of several recreational areas around Oceanside and waits for them while they spend some time outdoors. |
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.
