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.
There are a variety of programs available to seniors in Arlington Heights. These include repair programs, nutrition help and other services provided at low or no cost. These can help seniors live in their own homes rather than having to move to assisted living communities.

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.

The communication was great and the consistency of caregivers. I liked the communication and the ability to be able to see the notes from the previous day's care.

She does laundry for me, and she goes shopping for me. The substitutes are very helpful as well. I have found them very helpful. The people that have come to assist me have been very good.
