Seniors may consider other care options depending on their needs and budgets. Adult day care is the least expensive option at $1,430 per month. Assisted living is also significantly more affordable than home care, though it requires individuals to reside in senior living communities rather than their own homes. Nursing homes are a good option for those in need of 24/7 supervision. As they involve the most comprehensive scope of care, nursing homes are the most expensive option, starting at $8,882.

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.

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.
