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 San Francisco:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels San Francisco | (415) 920-1111 | 137 FairFax Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124 | Volunteers in the area help senior clients maintain a safe and healthy lifestyle by delivering nutritious meals, including breakfast, lunch and dinner options that can be modified to fit each client’s specific needs. Delivered daily, on weekdays, or twice a week, meals can arrive hot, refrigerated, or frozen depending on the client’s capabilities. The agency also provides volunteer shoppers who can buy groceries and small household items, along with helpful volunteers who can stop by just to change a light bulb, make small furniture repairs and other small projects. |
| San Francisco Human Services Department of Disability and Aging Services | (415) 355-6700 | 2 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94103 | Often referred to as the DAS Benefits and Resources Hub, the agency connects seniors, veterans and individuals with disabilities with a variety of resources, like in-home supportive services, food pantries and LGBT programs. Adult protective services are also available. Applications are accepted online. Representatives can be reached at the provided number and speak the following languages: Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog. |
| Bay Area Legal Aid | (415) 982-1300 | 1800 Market Street 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94102 | The nonprofit represents clients from a variety of different cultural and social-economic backgrounds in areas of finance, housing preservation and helping individuals apply for the government support they are entitled to. Attorneys can also assist with appealing unlawful terminations of financial aid or wrongful denials for benefits. The agency also has experience handling medical issues, as well as assisting clients with obtaining in-home support services and SSI benefits. |
| San Francisco Community Assistance Program | (415) 551-3000 | 525 Golden Gate Avenue (at Polk St.), San Francisco, CA 94102 | Not only does this agency help senior and low-income residents in San Francisco provide assistance with paying water bills, but they also offer free replacements of old, in-efficient water fixtures. Once approved, customers receive a free evaluation of their home and receive discounts for up to 35% on sewer bills and 15% on water bills. The program can replace faucets, showerheads and toilets, in addition to fixing expensive plumbing issues. |
| Self-Help for the Elderly | (415) 677-7600 | 731 Sansome Street, Suite 100, San Francisco, CA 94111 | Serving over 40,000 seniors in Chinatown each year, the non-profit offers a wide variety of senior care services, both in and out of the home, along with resources to help seniors and their caregivers. The organization also provides HICAP services to help seniors better understand their health insurance options and rights. |
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.
