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 Frederick:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Maryland Access Point of Frederick County | (301) 600-9000 | 12 E. Church St., Frederick, MD 21701 | Run by the Frederick County government, the MAP helps disabled and aging county residents access benefit-, assistance- and service-related information that can help them improve their quality of life. Program representatives can help seniors determine whether they meet eligibility requirements for public programs; they also visit Frederick’s senior centers every month for in-person community discussions about MAP services. |
Maryland WholeHome Program | (301) 429-7847 | 7800 Harkins Road, Lanham, MD 20706 | This Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development program offers home repair and energy-efficiency improvement grants to area homeowners. Seniors can take advantage of the program to make their homes safer by installing accessibility aids such as grab bars and ramps; homes can also be made cheaper via the lowered energy costs from furnace upgrades and window sealing. Income restrictions apply. |
National Family Caregiver Support Program | (301) 600-1234 | 1440 Taney Ave., Frederick, MD 21702 | This federally funded program, part of the Older Americans Act, works to help those who are providing care for people over 60 years old or who have dementia-related disorders. In addition to offering once-a-year financial assistance of up to $700 to help fund respite care, the NFCSP provides training, education, therapy groups and a resource library for caregivers. |
Meals on Wheels | (301) 600-3524 | 12 E. Church St., Frederick, MD 21701 | Homebound Frederick County citizens 60 years of age and older can sign up to receive two meals a day (one hot and one intended for refrigeration) from this service. To be eligible for the program, applicants must be without a caregiver who can prepare food or shop for the applicant and also must be unable to prepare food independently. Special meals for seniors with dietary restrictions are available. |
Project SAFE | 1 (800) 243-3425 | 311 West Saratoga Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 | This coalition of government and private entities works together to help reduce financial exploitation of the elderly, which can include tax fraud, home repair grift and other scams targeting older citizens. Seniors or members of the public who believe a vulnerable senior is being financially exploited may anonymously report the activity to Adult Protective Services through Project SAFE’s hotline. Third parties are encouraged to get the perceived victim’s consent before making a report. |
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.
