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 Bloomington:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Household & Outside Maintenance for the Elderly | (952) 746-4046 | 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431 | This program provides seniors with low-cost services that enable them to remain independent in their own homes. HOME offers sliding scale fees for services based on ability to pay. Indoor services include cleaning, painting, laundry, errands, grocery shopping and minor repairs. The services provided outdoors include lawn mowing, snow removal, yard work, window washing and painting. All seniors 60 and older, regardless of income, are eligible to receive services. |
| Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program | (952) 930-3541 | 8800 Highway 7, #403, St. Louis Park, Minnesota 55426 | LIHEAP is a federally funded program that helps low-income homeowners and renters pay for home heating costs. To be eligible, applicants must meet the program’s income limit based on their household size. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (612) 870-4255 | 1081 Tenth Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414 | The Weatherization Assistance Program is federally funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and provides free home energy upgrades to low-income households. Seniors must meet the program’s income guidelines or be receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits to qualify. The program helps make a home more energy efficient by adding insulation, sealing air leaks and making sure the furnace is working properly. |
| Bloomington – Eden Prairie Meals on Wheels | (952) 835-1665 | 8400 France Ave. South, Bloomington, MN 55431 | Bloomington – Eden Prairie Meals on Wheels is a nonprofit organization that delivers hot and nutritious meals to area seniors at noontime on Monday through Friday. Seniors who are unable to shop or prepare meals can have a full meal delivered directly to their home at a very low cost. Volunteers also stay for a short visit when delivering meals to seniors. |
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.

Review of BrightStar Care of South Minneapolis Metro
It allowed us to go out of town but they were not reliable. The nurses ranged in quality. They need to be reliable and the quality of the help was hit or miss.

Review of BrightStar Care of South Minneapolis Metro
They come to help her bathe once a week. BrightStar stepped up to accommodate her schedule when her first caregiver (family member) passed away.
