Adult day health care is the least expensive care option for Ridgefield seniors, but most such programs have severely limited hours of operation and are only open to ambulatory seniors. Assisted living is 15% more expensive than home care on a monthly basis, as the cost generally includes the price of room and board. Nursing home care provides the highest level of medical support but is over three times as expensive as home-based care.

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 Ridgefield:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utility Bill Assistance and Weatherization | (203) 748-5422 | 66 North Street, Danbury, CT 06810 | The Community Action Agency of Western Connecticut (CAAWC) is responsible for managing the state’s energy assistance program in Ridgefield and the Greater Danbury Area. This program helps low-income residents pay for heating costs during winter, and can also lower utility bills by weatherizing the home. |
| Congregate Dining and Meal Delivery for Seniors | (203) 757-5449 | 84 Progress Lane, Waterbury, CT 06705 | Ridgefield residents who are aged 60 or over may be eligible to receive nutritious meals in a community setting, such as a senior center, as well as home-delivered meals. The Elderly Nutrition Program is funded by the federal and state government and eligibility is not determined by income, although a small donation is encouraged. |
| Founders Hall Senior Center | (203) 431-7000 | 193 Danbury Road, Ridgefield, CT 06877 | Located just north of Ridgefield town center, Founders Hall offers many activities and events for seniors, such as fitness and nutrition programs that are appropriate for the age group. Other regular activities include art classes, writing workshops, films, dancing, quilting and knitting. |
| CT Home Care Program for Elders | (203) 757-5449 | 84 Progress Lane, Waterbury, CT 06705 | The Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging is responsible for managing the state home care program for seniors in Ridgefield. Eligible residents receive support and necessary services in the home, which is designed to prevent premature placement in a nursing home. Asset limits apply. |
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.

I can't stand and walk and they helped me transfer to bed and wheelchair. They are well trained in what they are supposed to do and have nice employees.

Review of RVNAhealth
Having the caregivers in our home with my stepdad gives me peace of mind. The agency is great with my stepdad's care. The communication is great.
