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 several programs available for seniors in Silver Spring to help them remain independent at home for as long as possible. Seniors may be eligible for financial assistance and help with maintaining their properties.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Montgomery County Utility Assistance Program | (240) 777-4450 | Low-income seniors who are struggling to make their utility payments may be eligible for this Montgomery County Government assistance program. Applicants could receive a financial benefit they can use towards both their energy and water bills. The county determines who’s eligible based on household income. |
| Home Care / In Home Aide Services | (240) 777-3000 | This program was created to help seniors in the area continue living at home for as long as it’s feasible. The county’s Department of Health and Human Services can supply low-income seniors with an in-home caregiver. The cost for this service is on a sliding scale, based on income. |
| Weatherization Program | (301) 990-0014 Ext. 19 | Weatherization projects are free of charge and can help older adults save on their utility bills. Seniors who are eligible for this program can benefit from home improvement repairs such as insulation, appliance repair or replacement and air sealing. |
| Property Tax Credit for Elderly Individuals and for Military Retirees | (240) 0777-0311 | Senior homeowners aged 65 and above may qualify for a substantial exemption on their property tax with this program. The tax credit is awarded to eligible older adults who have either owned their homes for at least 40 years or those who are military veterans. |
| Senior Call Check Program | (866) 502-0560 | This is a free program the Maryland Department of Aging offers to all seniors aged 65 and above. Older adults can register to receive a phone call every day to check on their well-being. If the senior does not answer, either a family member or non-emergency local services are contacted to check in on the participant. |
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.
