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.
The Albuquerque region has numerous agencies and programs that support seniors’ independence and safety at home. This table highlights the top resources in the region to help those seeking home care to navigate the system and find budget-friendly services.
| Resource | Contact | Service |

| City of Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Area Agency on Aging | (505) 768-2745 | The local Area Agency on Aging administers a variety of programs to those aged 60 and over in the Albuquerque region to help them remain in their homes, even as their care needs change.

It also partners with the UNM Geriatric Education and Health Maintenance Clinic to provide health screenings and evaluations to older adults. |

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.
