READ MOREThe 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey found the median fee for home care in Lincroft is $5,529 per month, which is also the average for New Jersey. The national median is lower, at $4,957, but it’s not unusual to find Northeastern states to have above-average costs. Atlantic City also has a median fee of $5,529, which is more than Trenton’s $5,148 and Vineland’s $4,767.

Lincroft’s home care agencies typically charge $5,529 per month for their services, which isn’t as affordable as the $1,950 median for adult day centers but reflects home care’s one-on-one services. Home health care agencies are costlier, at $5,720, because registered medical professionals deliver care in the senior’s home. Assisted living fees are typically around $5,750 per month for essentially non-medical care, and seniors who need medical support and accommodation can expect to pay around $12,471 per month for a semiprivate room in a nursing home.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program | Apply Here | The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program helps New Jersey homeowners and renters struggling to pay rising home heating and cooling costs. Eligible applicants are New Jersey residents with incomes at or below 60% of the state median, and the amount of benefit provided is dependent on the household size and type of fuel. Only renters whose fuel costs form part of their rent are paid directly, and in all other cases, the program pays the energy supplier. |
USDA Loans and Grants | (856) 285-7679 | Lincroft residents with incomes at or below the program's limits for Monmouth County can apply for a loan from USDA to help pay for home repairs and improvements. Loans can be up to $40,000 and are over 20-year periods, with interest rates fixed at 1%. Residents aged 62 and older can also apply for a grant of up to $10,000 to pay for repairs to health and safety hazards in their homes. The senior doesn't need to repay the grant unless they move out of the home within 3 years of the grant approval date. It's also possible for eligible applicants to combine the grant and loan. |
Meals on Wheels of Monmouth County | (732) 775-0525 | Meals on Wheels of Monmouth County delivers nutritious meals to Lincroft's homebound seniors. Meals are delivered on weekdays, but weekend and holiday deliveries are possible for particularly vulnerable residents. Drivers also conduct wellness checks during the delivery. |
Weatherization Assistance Program | (732) 828-4510 | The Weatherization Assistance Program is administered by the NJ Department of Community Affairs and funded by the federal government. It can pay costs for home improvements deemed necessary to reduce energy consumption, which can also lower heating and cooling costs. To be eligible, the homeowner or renter must have an income no greater than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level for the state, and renters must also get approval from the property's owner. Works may include repairing windows and doors and HVAC systems and installing insulating materials. |
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.
