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 Middlesex County:
Resource | Contact | Service |
---|---|---|
Middlesex County Senior Meal Program | (732) 745-3295 | The Middlesex County Meals Program serves as the regional Meals on Wheels service of the County Office of Aging and Disabled Services. This nutrition initiative, which is available to seniors aged 60 or older throughout the county, is funded by federal grant money and client donations. Meals aren’t denied to clients who can’t pay, but a recommended donation of $2.75 is requested. Assorted menu options that cater to different dietary needs are delivered to the doors of homebound members of the program. |
New Jersey Shares | (866) 657-4273 | For New Jersey Seniors who don’t qualify for other utility assistance programs such as LIHEAP or USF, and who have an income lower than 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, NJ Shares offers temporary utility payment assistance for those who’ve fallen behind on paying their bills due to a financial crisis. The program is available all year and can be used to pay water, gas, telecommunications and electrical bills. |
New Jersey Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) | (732) 828-4672 | New Jersey’s Weatherization Assistance Program offers weatherization and repair services to income-eligible residents of the state. The program is funded by state and federal money. Low-income seniors and households with low-income families or disabled members are given preference. The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs manages this program, but applicants enroll through local weatherization partners in their county. In Middlesex, this is through the PRAB community action agency. Seniors receiving Supplemental Security Income are automatically eligible, and the weatherization program works on owned or rented homes for weather extremes at no cost. |
State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) | (732) 745-3295 | The State Health Insurance Program of New Jersey offers senior residents of the state free counseling on obtaining and managing their New Jersey Medicare and other health insurance benefits. The New Jersey Department of Human Services and the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services fund this initiative. The counselors of SHIP offer unbiased advice about government health insurance claims, long-term care insurance and Medicare or Medicaid coverage benefits. Seniors can contact the County Office of Aging and Disabled Services for a SHIP counselor. |
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.
