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 Paramus:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels | (201) 336-7474 | Bergen County Department of Human Services, One Bergen County Plaza, 2nd Floor, Hackensack, NJ 07601-7076 | Meals on Wheels provides housebound seniors with meals delivered to their doors. To be eligible, seniors must be over the age of 60 and unable to prepare a nutritious meal themselves or unable to leave the house unassisted. Seniors must not require a special diet and must not have home assistance for longer than 4 hours per day. Seniors can choose between one hot meal delivered daily, or 7 frozen meals delivered once a week. A donation of $1.25 is suggested for each meal to assist with costs. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (201) 968-0200 | GBCA Headquarters, 392 Main Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601 | The Weatherization Assistance Program is a nationally-funded program that provides repair services to improve home energy efficiency. To be eligible for the program, applicants must be residents of Bergen County and below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Successful applicants receive a house inspection to determine what home improvement services need to be done. Services include replacing faulty windows, repairing water heaters and air filter repairs. |
| The Joseph Cipolla Senior Activity Center | (201) 265-2100 | 93 North Farview Avenue, Paramus, NJ 07652 | The Joseph Cipolla Senior Activity Center offers various activities and programs to Paramus Seniors aged 62 and above. Activities include art classes, yoga and bingo, as well as trips into the community. There are also two senior citizens clubs, sponsored by the Borough of Paramus, which meet at the Senior Center. One of the clubs takes place on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 11 a.m. and includes coffee, cake and live entertainment. |
| Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) | (201) 265-2100 | The Borough of Paramus, 1 West Jockish Square, Paramus, NJ 07652 | LIHEAP is a government-funded program that provides low-income households with financial assistance for paying bills. To be eligible, applicants must not exceed the income guidelines (e.g. $2,082 gross income for a one-person household, $2,819 for a two-person household). Successful applicants receive a one-off payment to help with electricity, gas, heating and cooling costs. Emergency assistance funds can also be given at certain times of the year. Applicants usually receive an average of $300 towards energy bills. |
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.
