READ MOREThe 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey shows Addison’s seniors typically pay an additional $333 per month for home care services when compared to the median for Illinois and $715 when set against the U.S. average. Consequently, the town is costlier than normal, although not comparable with cities such as Danville, where the average fee is $8,818. At $5,625, Rockford is more affordable than Addison, although the monthly savings of $47 might not be enough to tempt seniors north. Kankakee’s $5,148 might, though, as it equates to an annual savings of around $6,288.

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.
Addison’s seniors residing at home can access many free and low-cost services to help them overcome common difficulties, such as the cost of making their home more energy-efficient and getting fresh and nutritious meals. There is also support for those with unmanageable utility bills and seniors eligible for tax reductions on their homes.

| Meals on Wheels | (630) 620-0804 | DuPage Senior Citizens Council operates a home-delivered meals program for residents aged 60 and over who struggle to prepare their own food and don't have anyone who can help regularly. The program caters to various diets, including vegetarian, diabetic and puréed. The volunteer drivers also make wellness checks at the time of delivery. Although meals are free, the program asks seniors and their families to donate what they can to cover remaining costs after funding. |
| Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program | (630) 407-6500 | The federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides a one-time payment to eligible Addison residents to help cover some of their energy costs. It's paid during winter and is available to homeowners and renters. Applicants can also apply to join the Percentage of Income Payment Plan, which can help them manage energy costs throughout the year. The plan contributes a portion toward the senior's energy bills every month. |
| Senior Homestead Exemption | (630) 530-8161 | Adults aged 65 and older in Addison who own and reside in their homes are eligible for the Senior Homestead Exemption. As of 2022, it reduces the assessed value of their homes by $5,000, consequently reducing the amount of property tax they need to pay. Adults eligible for the exemption with combined annual household gross incomes of no more than $55,000 also qualify for the Senior Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption. |
| Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program | (630) 407-6500 | The Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program can reduce the cost of heating and cooling the homes of renters and homeowners in Addison on low incomes. It can also upgrade houses that violate building codes and those with structural issues that endanger the occupants. The annual income of the entire household determines eligibility. It cannot be more than 150% of the federal poverty level if state funds are used or 200% if the funding is by DOE and HHS. Work typically carried out includes insulating attics, repairing HVAC equipment and sealing sources of air leaks. |
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.
