Wilton seniors who are interested in a more community-based experience than that of home care may choose to move into an assisted living facility, which is roughly 15% more expensive than home care. Those who need extensive medical support may be better served by a nursing home, which is far more expensive at an average of $16,805 a month. Adult day health care, which costs a relatively inexpensive $1,619 a month, is a potential option for seniors with minimal medical needs.

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 Wilton:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Norwalk Salvation Army | (203) 866-2125 | 14 Byington Place, Norwalk, CT 06850 | As part of the national non-profit agency with a variety of services for local communities, the Salvation Army office in Norwalk has many programs to help the elderly in need. This location has a thrift store and food pantry, with discount household goods, free food and discount clothing. Case managers are available to help seniors find resources such as medical care, utility or rent assistance and even volunteer opportunities for those that are able. The Salvation Army is faith-based, with worship services and limited transport to these services available. |
| Wilton Social Services Department | (203) 834-6240 | Comstock Community Center, 180 School Road, Wilton, CT 06897 | This agency oversees the Wilton Senior Center, where the elderly can enjoy socialization opportunities, including classes, games and social outings.

Proof of residency and age is the only requirement, and volunteers can help seniors find which businesses honor the program. |
| Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) | (203) 838-8110 | 149 Water Street, 2nd Floor, Norwalk, CT 06854 | Seniors who meet certain income guidelines are eligible for utility bill payment assistance.

| Wilton Meals on Wheels | (203) 762-0566 | 439 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT 06897 | This volunteer-run program delivers two hot and two cold meals to eligible Wilton seniors on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

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.
