READ MOREThe 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey reveals Naperville’s median fee for home care to be $5,672, placing it high on the cost spectrum. By comparison, the state median is $5,339, and the country is $4,957. However, Naperville isn’t Illinois’ costliest city — a position held by Danville ($8,818). Also, its costs aren’t much above Rockford ($5,625). However, more affordable cities are within reasonable distances, such as Champaign ($5,196) and Bloomington ($5,053).

Home care’s monthly median fee of $5,672 is below home health care’s $5,720. However, it must be noted the latter is a medical service typically delivered by registered nurses and therapists, which increases costs. Adult day care is cheaper than home care, at $1,842, but it’s not a one-on-one service, or suitable for homebound seniors. Assisted living is more affordable too, at $4,825, but will require institutionalization. Nursing homes deliver near-hospital levels of medical care, resulting in their fees in Naperville being around $6,996.

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.
Seniors in Naperville living at home can call on the help of numerous government agencies and non-profits who provide financial support at little to no cost. The support services listed here can help provide healthy meals most days, legal assistance and reduce the tax burden on homes. They can also make homes more energy-efficient and help with utility bills.

| Meals on Wheels | (630) 620-0804 | DuPage Senior Citizens Council operates a home-delivered meal service for homebound seniors in Naperville who have no other way of getting fresh meals daily. Meals are low in salt and cholesterol and provide one-third of an adult's daily recommended dietary needs. Special diets are also catered for, and drivers conduct wellness checks during the delivery. |
| Weatherization Program | (630) 407-6500 | DuPage County residents with incomes not exceeding 200% of the federal poverty level may be eligible for the assistance from the Weatherization Program. It covers owner-occupied and rental properties that aren't energy efficient. Consequently, it can reduce participants' energy bills and make their homes more comfortable. Works vary, but may include insulating walls and attics, sealing sources of air intrusion and heat escape and fitting LED light bulbs. |
| Utility Assistance Program | (630)-355-3663 | Naperville's Utility Assistance Program helps residents with low incomes meet some of their energy costs. As of 2022, eligible applicants can receive an annual grant of up to $600 to pay their utility bills. The grant goes directly to the user's utility account, not their bank account. To qualify, the applicant can't have an income of more than 300% of the federal poverty level. |
| DuPage Legal Aid | (630) 653-6212 | DuPage Legal Aid is a nonprofit law firm founded in 1975 to provide free legal information, advice and advocacy for DuPage County residents. It can help with civil law matters only, not criminal law. However, the areas its attorneys have experience in are wide-ranging and include housing, public benefits, health care, identity theft and consumer law. |
| Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption | Township Assessor or Supervisor of Assessment | DuPage County homeowners aged 65 or older can apply for the Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption, in addition to other eligible property tax relief programs. The exemption can lower the taxable value of their owner-occupied property by up to $5,000. The homeowner must have resided in the property for that tax year. |
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.
