READ MOREThe Genworth Cost of Care 2021 Survey merges the home care cost data of Palm Harbor and Tampa because the cities are less than 40 minutes apart, resulting in a median monthly fee of $4,767. While this is the same as Florida’s average, it’s below the country’s median of $4,957 — suggesting Palm Harbor seniors could save $2,280 annually when compared to the typical American. Lakeland’s median of $4,576 makes it more affordable, while Orlando shares Palm Harbor’s average fee. Costlier cities in the region include North Port and The Villages, both of which average $5,720.

Senior care can be medical and nonmedical, with adult day care, home care and assisted living delivering the former. However, only home care delivers one-on-one services in the senior’s home, which is why its median fee of $4,767 is above adult day care ($2,123) and assisted living ($3,350). Home health care is medical, involving registered therapists and nurses, resulting in higher fees of around $4,862. Nursing homes fees for medical care are greater still, at approximately $8,927.

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 Palm Harbor:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neighborly | (727) 573-9444 | 13945 Evergreen Avenue, 4th Floor, Clearwater, FL 33762 | In Pinellas County, Neighborly operates the Meals on Wheels program, which delivers hot lunches Monday through Friday, providing about 600 calories per meal. All Pinellas County residents can obtain low-cost meals, and certain homebound individuals 60 years of age and older may be eligible for meals at no cost. Along with food, the delivery volunteers also provide wellness checks and opportunities for older adults to socialize. Another offering from Neighborly is a transportation service for seniors. |
| Pinellas County Community Development | (727) 464-8210 | 440 Court Street, 2nd Floor, Clearwater, FL 33756 | The Community Development office in Pinellas County operates two programs that may be of interest to senior homeowners. Low- and moderate-income homeowners can apply for funding to fix up their property through the Home Repair Loan Program. Additionally, the office’s Independent Living Program gives grants to low-income homeowners, who can put the funds toward rails, wheelchair ramps and other accessibility and safety features. |
| Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services | (727) 479-1800 | 14041 Icot Boulevard, Clearwater, FL 33760 | GCJFCS has a number of offerings for seniors, including a homemaker service for frail older adults that provides help around the house along with companionship. Subsidies for caregivers are available as well. GCJFS also runs a counseling service for the elderly and a friendly caller program that reduces feelings of isolation among seniors through weekly telephone chats. |
| Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program | (727) 327-0977 | 333 31st Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33713 | Offered by the Pinellas County Urban League, LIHEAP is the umbrella program over three forms of aid. The first makes it easier for low-income households to afford electric and gas bills, with elderly individuals among the prioritized demographics. The second gives assistance during a home energy bill-related crisis, and the third helps with bills when a severe weather emergency is declared. |
| Area Agency on Aging of Pasco-Pinellas | (800) 963-5337 | 9549 Koger Boulevard, Suite 100, St. Petersburg, FL 33702 | The AAAPP helps older adults access community resources and provides assistance with nutrition. It also runs the area’s Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders program, through which counselors advise seniors about Medicare plans and applications. In-home care is also available through the AAAPP. Additionally, the organization arranges transportation for elders who no longer drive, and it points seniors toward sources of mental and emotional support. |
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.
