At Qualicare Connecticut Shoreline is delighted to provide non-medical home care services to their clients. We strive to provide our clients with a better class of home care—and that’s only possible with a better class of home care agency. One that approaches care from a holistic viewpoint. One that puts care in the hands of experienced local experts. One that provides care for not just one person, but for the entire family. Dressing & Grooming Our caregivers can provide a gentle helping hand when getting dressed or undressed, ensuring the comfort and safety of clients. We also offer help with grooming activities, such as brushing hair or shaving. Bathing, Toileting & Hygiene When clients require aid with bathing or toileting, our caregivers assist with these tasks, focusing on comfort, dignity, and safety. Our hygiene assistance services also include help with activities such as toothbrushing. Mobility & Transfer Assistance Many seniors struggle with limited mobility. With a hand from our caregivers, it’s much easier for our clients to retain their independence. From transferring assistance to fall prevention, we help our clients live safely at home. Medication Reminders Our caregivers make it easier to maintain your medication schedule by providing helpful reminders. This way, you don’t need to worry about a missed dose, even when juggling several prescriptions. Exercise Assistance At Qualicare, we know how important it is to stay active. Our personal care services make that easier for clients by assisting with physical exercises, providing encouragement and support as necessary. Grocery Shopping & Prescription Pickups Routine errands can prove difficult for many Qualicare clients, making it hard to shop for groceries or pick up prescriptions. Thankfully, our caregivers are happy to perform these tasks on our clients’ behalf. Meal Planning & Preparation As part of our personal care services, Qualicare can plan and prepare meals throughout the day. If you have specific dietary needs or concerns, we can plan your meals accordingly. Housekeeping & Laundry Limited strength, coordination, and mobility can make housekeeping tasks difficult or even dangerous for our clients. Our caregivers can help you maintain a tidy home, do the laundry, clean dishes, and perform other housekeeping tasks. Transportation Services Our transportation services help clients maintain their independence by providing rides to social outings, family events, appointments, and other commitments. These services include accommodations for individuals with mobility limitations or health concerns. Wellness Monitoring Wellness monitoring is a core feature of our personal care services. On a day-to-day basis, our caregivers are there to ensure our clients health and safety. At the same time, we are always tracking our client’s overall well-being and the impact of our caregiving services.

According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2021, Fairfield’s home care providers cost $382 per month more than the national average. The city’s average cost is similar to the state’s as a whole, however, and there is little difference in cost between the four Connecticut cities included in the survey.

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.

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.
