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 Cape May County:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cape May County Division of Aging and Disability Services | (609) 886-2784 | 4005 Rte 9 S, Rio Grande, NJ 08242, United States | The CMC Division of Aging & Disability Services works to help older adults stay healthy and independent by assisting them with information, referrals, direct assistance and education programs in maintaining their quality of life. Its services are varied and include group meals at four senior centers, Meals on Wheels home food deliveries, counseling on access to other benefits programs and coordination for the State Health Insurance and Assistance Program. The division also manages a prescription card program that lets all carriers of its cards receive discounts on prescription medications. |

Pearl St. 1st Floor, Bridgeton, NJ 08302 | New Jersey’s Weatherization Assistance Program is funded both federally and with state resources.

Eligible households must make below $25,760 for a single-person home or $34,840 for a two-person residence. |
| NJSave | (800) 792-9745 | 3801 Route 9, South, Unit 4, Rio Grande, NJ 08242 | NJSave is an online application program reserved for low-income senior residents of New Jersey that helps pay the costs of their Medicare expenses, prescription medicine and other living expenses.

Successful applicants to NJSave are then also enrolled in several other programs that include among others: Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD), Lifeline Utility Assistance, Medicare Savings and Hearing Aid Assistance to the Aged and Disabled. |
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.
