Home care may be a good choice for seniors who need extra help around the house and with personal care activities. Those who require light medical assistance may choose home health care at a slightly lower price. Assisted living runs $500 more than home care, and skilled nursing adds $6,800 to the monthly bill; these may be necessary for more extensive care.

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 Groveland:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Modification Loan Program (HMLP) | (617) 204-3600 | 600 Washington St., Boston, MA 02111 | This program, offered by the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, provides loans at 0% interest to help seniors and other adults with disabilities make accessibility improvements to their homes. These changes may include wider doors, grab bars in the bathroom and ramps for wheelchairs. Ranging from $1,000 to $50,000, the loans are based on household size, and each home can only take out one loan. |
| Energy Savings and Fuel Assistance | (978) 768-7932 | 17 Pickering St., Essex, MA 01929 | Essex county-based programs for energy and fuel cost assistance ensure that some low-income seniors can stay warm during the winter. Agencies providing fuel assistance for seniors can be found here. |
| Action, Inc. | (978) 283-7874 | 180 Main St., Gloucester, MA 01930 | Gloucester-based Action, Inc. serves Groveland and all of Essex County, as well as surrounding counties. Low-income seniors can get help with paying for heating during the winter and may also be able to get help weatherizing their homes. |
| Homestead Exemptions for Property Tax | (978) 557-1900 | Northern Essex Registry of Deeds, 354 Merrimack St. Suite 304 (C), Lawrence, MA 01843 | In Groveland and throughout Massachusetts, seniors can save money on their property tax bills. Homestead Exemptions remove $125,000 to $500,000 from the assessed value of seniors’ homes. Seniors must live in the property listed on their homestead applications and work with their local municipality to evaluate their requests. |
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.
