At an average of $1,619 per month, adult day health care provides the most affordable senior care option in Bridgeport. Seniors who require either in-home care or home health care should budget for approximately $5,339 monthly. Although both types of home care services share the same costs, home health care involves medical services carried out by professionals, such as registered nurses and physical therapists. Individuals needing more comprehensive care may opt for an assisted living community where they’ll pay an average of $6,273 each month. With a monthly cost of up to $16,805, a room in a skilled nursing facility is one of Bridgeport’s most expensive long-term care options.

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.
Seniors in Bridgeport have access to numerous free and low-cost resources and programs that help them to continue to live safely and independently. Local and federal programs may offer assistance with transportation, meal delivery and home repairs, among others. Some examples of available resource contacts are included here.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|

There are also limited funds to cover furnace repair and replacement costs. |
| Southwest CT Agency on Aging & Independent Living | (203) 333-9288 | SWCAA's knowledgeable specialists assist seniors and their families with identifying the type of care and support needed to continue living a healthy independent lifestyle.

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.
