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 Kane County:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Service Associates | (847) 741-0404 (Elgin); (630) 897-4035 (Aurora) | 101 S. Grove Avenue, Elgin, IL 60120 | This nonprofit agency, which works in conjunction with the Area Agency on Aging, helps seniors in Kane County find information on community care programs, low- or no-cost accessible transportation options and senior-specific legal services. Its free services are open to those 60 years of age and over. In addition to its main office in Elgin, the organization also operates an Aurora office. |
| Friendly Visiting Program | (847) 741-0404 | 101 S. Grove Avenue, Elgin, IL 60120 | A free program organized by Senior Service Associates, the SCP matches volunteers with seniors in need of social contact. Volunteers and their seniors connect once a week for shared shopping trips, card games, meals and other activities. A related initiative, the Senior Canine Companion Program, brings therapy dogs to homebound seniors once a week for visits of up to one hour. |
| Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program | (217) 785-2533 | 100 W. Randolph Street, Suite 3-400, Chicago, IL 60601 | This federally funded state-run program works to help participants lower their energy bills through a combination of home improvement services. Among other energy-saving approaches, IHWAP funds can be used to replace or repair old water heaters and HVAC systems, install attic insulation and update large energy-inefficient appliances such as refrigerators with modern models. The program can provide up to $15,000 in repair and weatherization assistance per eligible home, though household income limits apply. |
| Prairie State Legal Services | (630) 232-9415 | 1024 West Main Street, Saint Charles, IL 60174 | Seniors in Kane County can contact this nonprofit law firm for free legal advice concerning senior-related matters, including those involving landlord and family disputes, public benefits, elder abuse and financial exploitation, and disability accommodations. There are no income requirements or restrictions for these services, which are open to all citizens 60 years of age and older. |
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.

Review of Visiting Angels - South Elgin
They do what we need, minimally. They don't go above and beyond. They could be responsible and responsive to make sure there are people for my mother when she needs it.
