READ MOREWhen deciding what care to seek during retirement, many seniors consider the cost a significant factor in their choice. Thankfully, home care is rather affordable in Baltimore, averaging $4,957 per month according to Genworth's 2021 Cost of Care Survey, equivalent to the national norm but $191 less than is typical in Maryland. However, care is still cheaper in some nearby areas, such as the city of California, where costs are $381 less. Expenses are equivalent to Baltimore in Cumberland, but they're 7.7% more expensive in Washington, D.C., on average, and nearly 4% higher in Hagerstown.

Home care allows seniors to continue living at home for as long as possible before potentially moving into higher levels of care. However, individuals may want to consider other types of support, depending on their needs. Home health care costs $96 more on average but allows seniors to receive nursing and medical treatments at home. Adult day health care, costing $3,030 less than home care, is another alternative for seniors who only need occasional support. On the other hand, assisted living, averaging $207 less than home care, may be ideal for individuals who prefer a communal living environment. Nursing homes cost more than twice as much at $10,798 but also offer 24-hour care from licensed medical professionals.

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 to pay 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 Baltimore:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community Personal Assistance Services | (410) 767-1739 | 201 W. Preston St., Suite 136, Baltimore, MD 21201 | Maryland’s Community Personal Assistance Services supports residents who need help with activities of daily living in their homes. They must meet the program’s medical and financial criteria to qualify. Participants receive nurse monitoring and personal assistance, and they may qualify for support with medical equipment and supplies, pharmacy needs, physician and hospital care and mental health services. |
| Hopkins ElderPlus | (410) 550-8093 | 4940 Eastern Ave., Baltimore, MD 21224 | Hopkins ElderPlus is a voluntary program of all-inclusive care for the elderly (PACE) designed to provide care services seniors need to continue living at home. Care coordinators meet with each participant to devise a personalized care plan. As needed, seniors may receive personal assistance, home-delivered meals, skilled nursing support, assistive devices and prescription medications. Hopkins ElderPlus also provides transportation to and from medical appointments and its day health care center, where clients receive a hot lunch and snacks. |
| Community Pathways Waiver | (844) 253-8694 | 201 West Preston St., Baltimore, MD 21201 | The state-administered Community Pathways Waiver program integrates community resources and supports to enhance the lives of older individuals who wish to age in place in their own residence.

| Keswick Community Health | (410) 593-3292 | 700 West 40th St., Baltimore, MD 21211 | In a partnership with the Maryland Department of Aging, Keswick Community Health offers Maryland Community for Life, a package of low-cost, all-inclusive support services to help adults aged 60 and older stay in their homes as long as possible.

| Accessible Homes for Seniors | (301) 429-7821 | 7800 Harkins Rd., Lanham, MD 20706 | Accessible Homes for Seniors is a state-run program that provides accessibility-related modifications to the homes of eligible residents aged 55 and older. It offers grants or 0% interest, deferred loans to finance needed improvements to help seniors remain in their homes and maintain their independence and safety. The program may help pay for widening doorways, installing accessible showers, ramps, grab bars and railing as well as accommodations for first floor bathrooms and laundry rooms. |
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.

Review of Home Helpers Home Care of Northwest Baltimore
The agency allows me to be a better daughter. Their caregivers have the right skills to take care of my mother. I would like more options with caregivers and better communication.
