READ MOREOrange County’s seniors typically pay around $5,911 per month for home care, which is competitive when compared to California’s median fee of $6,101.

The results of the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey show Orange County’s seniors typically pay less than their peers in Riverside, where the median fee is $6,101, and San Diego, where $6,387 is the norm. However, some nearby cities are more affordable, such as Oxnard at $5,815 and Bakersfield at $5,506.

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 Orange County:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orange County Office on Aging | (714) 480-6450 | 1300 S Grand Ave B, Santa Ana, CA 92705 | The Orange County Office on Aging offers social and financial support services for elderly residents of the county. These include the Dignity at Home Fall Prevention Program, which provides fall injury prevention counseling and assessments of in-home safety.

| Institute on Aging, Friendship Line California | (415) 750-4111 | 3575 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118 | The Institute on Aging’s Friendship Line California service offers a communications support service for older residents throughout the state, including Orange County. Seniors can call the Friendship Line at any time to receive crisis intervention and human contact support during moments of isolation. This is a nonemergency line for psychological support that helps isolated elderly individuals and is free to use. |
| Senior Mobility Program | (714) 560-5660 | 550 S. Main Street, Orange, CA 92868 | The Senior Mobility Program of the Orange County Transportation Authority offers senior residents of the county transportation services to destinations that aren’t included among the usual public transport routes.

Most notably, there is HICAP (Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program), which offers customized counseling services and group seminars to seniors on accessing their Medicare benefits. The Council also offers its Financial Abuse Specialist Team (FAST) program, which educates elders on avoiding fraud and financial abuse from con artists, family members and caregivers. Other services of the Council on Aging include a long-term care ombudsman and a friendly visitor program staffed by volunteer companions. |
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.
