READ MOREResults from the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey reveal that Fenton’s average senior pays $5,148 per month for home care based on 44 hours worked per week. Although this is above the country’s average of $4,957, it’s below Michigan’s $5,529. Consequently, Fenton is more affordable than most cities in the state. A nearby exception is Saginaw where the average senior pays $4,195. However, comparisons with other cities in the region favor Fenton. Examples include Lansing’s monthly median of $5,625, Detroit’s $5,720 and Ann Arbor’s $6,101.

Fenton’s median home care fee of $5,148 makes it one of the costliest options for seniors. However, if they need home health care’s basic medical services from licensed professionals, they’ll pay another $95. If it’s nursing home care, a semiprivate room will add $3,247 to their monthly expenses. The most affordable option is adult day care, which could save $3,415 every month but will involve daily trips to and from the center. Assisted living’s median is more affordable than home care by $773 per month, but joining an institution isn’t for everyone.

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.
Aging in place brings many comforts, but there can also be challenges for seniors living at home. Fortunately, there are many nonprofit organizations helping for little or no cost. This table features specialists who make homes safer and more accessible and agencies that help with energy costs. Others provide legal support and durable medical equipment.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Nutrition Services Program | (810) 235-3567 | The Nutrition Services Program delivers hot and cold meals and milk to homebound adults aged 60+. Those unable to prepare food can get meals for every day of the week. Liquid supplements and options for special diets are also available. |
| Genesee County Habitat for Humanity | (810) 766-9089 | Habitat for Humanity's critical repair program makes homes safer and more comfortable for income-eligible homeowners. Work may include replacing windows and doors, repairing roofs and fixing structural damage. Construction crews can also make homes more accessible for people with disabilities. |
| Energy Assistance Programs | Online | Michigan's Health and Human Services Department administers several energy assistance programs. There's a home heating credit to help homeowners and renters meet their heating costs. There's also State Emergency Relief to aid residents who are facing disconnection. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (810) 787-0199 | The Weatherization Assistance Program covers the cost of making homes more energy efficient. Homeowners and renters can apply. Based on audit results, the program can pay for repairing or replacing heating systems and water heaters. It can also cover home insulation and refrigerator replacement costs. |
| Legal Services of Eastern Michigan | (800) 322-4512 | Adults aged 60+ can get free legal assistance from Legal Services of Eastern Michigan regardless of their income. The nonprofit specializes in several areas of civil law. For example, it can help seniors facing foreclosure, denied government benefits and elder abuse. |
| Durable Medical Equipment Loans | (810) 735-9406 | The Loose Senior Citizens Center in Linden operates a durable medical equipment loan closet. Loans are free although the device needed may not be available immediately because the program relies on donations. Equipment includes wheelchairs, bathroom safety devices and walkers. |
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.
