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 Manchester:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Weatherization Assistance Program | (860) 560-5600 | 555 Windsor Street, Hartford, CT 06120 | Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Weatherization Assistance Program applies several measures to help low-income seniors reduce their energy consumption and costs. These measures can include tuning up energy systems, sealing doors and insulating attics and sidewalls. There’s no cost to the senior for the service. To be eligible, the senior must have an income of no more than 60% of the state median income. |

Dial-A-Ride operates from Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. and between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays. |
Manchester Senior Center | (860) 647-3211 | 549 Middle Turnpike E, Manchester, CT 06040 | The Manchester Senior Center is somewhere for the town’s seniors to socialize and participate in games and classes designed to improve health and well-being.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
