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.
There are several agencies and organizations in Fairfield that help seniors, people with disabilities and their families by answering questions, giving advice and providing direct services. Depending on eligibility factors, such as age and income, the majority of services and programs are free or heavily subsidized.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Southwestern CT Agency on Aging | (203) 333-9288 | SWCAA is a nonprofit organization that helps seniors and people with disabilities by providing services in the home and community. Assistance may include meal deliveries, legal guidance, transportation, health care and social support. Many of the services are free or subsidized, particularly for people with few resources. This agency is also responsible for Connecticut's State Health Insurance Assistance Program at the local level, which offers free benefits counseling and assistance in the enrollment process. |
| Fairfield Social Services | (203) 256-3170 | The town's Human and Social Services Department can help with many issues related to aging and disabilities. Seniors can contact the department for information and referrals, case management, assessment for various benefits and help applying for assistance programs such as home energy. There are no income requirements for eligibility. |
| Bigelow Center for Senior Activities | (203) 256-3166 | Located at 100 Mona Terrace in Fairfield, this senior center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m on weekdays. A variety of classes and activities are scheduled at the center, such as senior-friendly exercise programs, games and movies. Seniors can also meet with professional social workers for help understanding and accessing various Social Security and Medicare programs and policies. |
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.
